In private hands. Which owner owns the most of just one aircraft? Is there somebody out there who personally owns 3 p-47's or such? thanks

Doesn't Connie Edwards still own four or five Buchons and 3 or 4 Mustangs?

Not sure if it has changed over the last few years, but he had one mustang left, a spitfire and 4 or so Buchons (including the 2-place version).

Rod Lewis has four F8F Bearcats. That's gotta be close.

I think Mr Lewis needs a few more Bearcats. 4 is never enough :shock:

Does the owner of Yanks still have about 20 N3Ns?

I guess the answer depends on if we are talking about flying, restored, or just total airframes and how complete we an airframe is before we count it as a whole. Depending on the criteria Aero Trader has give or take 10 B-25s.

I was there last week, and the placard in front of the N3N on floats said they had 12 more in storage. I wasn't sure if that meant the organization had them, or somehow they knew there were 12 left....wow....they have 12 more...?! ( I wonder if they wanna sell one off as a project....)


Funny, in December we were at Fantasy of Flight, and the tour guide showed an N3N there and stated it would take "At least 30 years to restore, we won't see it fly in our lifetime....". I was thinking WIXer Jeff could probably get her flying in a much shorter length of time....

I guess the Friedkin Family would hold the title for most P-51's wouldn't they ? Along with the most different models of that type (A-36, P-51C, P-51D's, TF-51)...
