Any Curtiss Falcon mailplane still flying ?

This year is the anniversary of the Bremen North Atlantic Crossing and the 400th anniversary of Quebec City.
A group of aviation enthousiasts would like to recreate Charles Lindbergh landing on the Abraham's flats on the day he did it, bringing medical supplies from New York for one of the Bremen crew who was ill (and later died).
Apparently, Lindbergh was flying his Curtiss Falcon mailplane Lindbergh Special when he did this special delivery.
Is there any aircraft of the same type still flying today that could duplicate this landing this summer ?
Thanks in advance for any information.
