1. POF
2. Big Stud- restored by Dick Martin for Champlin now grounded Seattle Museum of Flight.
3 Little Demon, restored by Ray Stutsman, now owned by Charles Somers.
4. Air Corps.



My pedantic self desires to give a shout out to Republic Aviation's efforts at restoring an actual fifth razorback to fly (albeit for a European tour way back in 1963).

She is, of course, 42-23278, now displayed at Dayton.

I have lost the source of this pic, so mods may/should delete if the situation warrants.
