Yankee Air Force's B-25 is also a "D" model.

Avro Lancaster - only two left. One in Canada and one in the UK

I don't know how many are left worldwide, but Jerry Yagen's JU-52 is the only flying one in North America.

You guys are missing a big one, and it's currently for sale in "Trade A Plane." Piper L-14 liason aircraft.

I think for the purpose of Mr. Wilkinson's story...the original intent of this thread...that merely model differences aren't what he's looking for.
After all, even to an aviation enthusiast, the last flying "C" is not THAT big of a deal when there are dozens of "D"s (or whatever) out there.

Now the last flying DC-2, or 247 is noteworthy....

I figure if you wanted my opinion on items unrelated to this forum, you'd ask for it.

At the moment there's either zero or one P-39s flying, depending on the current status of Friedkin's.

Hurricane Mk.IV (VWoC).

How many F4Fs flying now? I think just Lewis'?

Goodyear F2G, alas.

Not sure where we stand on F4U-7s at the moment. Zero, one or two?

Since variants count, Liza was on the right track with Lancasters; there's one B.I and one B.X. And the variants are more different than you might think.

Similarly there's one B-24A (LB-30, whatever) and one B-24J.

Sopwith Camel (Arango).

S.E.5a (Shuttleworth).

Sopwith Pup/Dove (Shuttleworth).

(Probably several other Shuttleworth aircraft.)

Wiki lists four Vegas left; all in museums. Kermit Weeks has one of them - has it flown lately? And isn't there someone else rebuilding one with a metal fuselage?

One Gee Bee on static display in Mexico, rebuilt after a fatal crash. All current flyers are reproductions.

Hello....AN-225 anybody?

Flying:

1 x CASA 352 (Spanish licence-build) in France
1 x CASA 352 in South Africa
1 x CASA 352 (re-engined with BMW engines) in Switzerland
3 x Ju 52 in Switzerland (still with BMW engines)
1 x Ju 52 in Germany (Lufthansa's; with P&W engines)

Collings foundation f-4d.
Cavanugh has the only fly able f9f panther.
Fairly certain, (I think there is one in Texas) the group in Detroit has a temco pinto.
Kermit has the only possible flyer b-26 I believe.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

there are several Pinto's flying, at least one or two in AZ, and we have one here in NorCal, although it may not have flown for the last couple of years.

I thought of two more.

Guy Blacks DH9 is close to flying and will certainly be unique.

Does B-25H Barbie III count? Only surviving H model?

EAA's Hangar Art B-25 is an H restored with a J nose...
