Exciting news for the Air Zoo! After seeing the job the staff at the Air Zoo did on the restoration of the XP-55, I kind of had the feeling it would not be long 'till the NASM let them "have" another project. Maybe someday they can get the "Swoose" for a restoration project. Hah, Hah.

When I was at the Air Zoo this past summer the XP-55 was almost done. Have they finished it yet? If so what are they starting in it's place?

my guess is that it is the Ford JB-2 which has been in storage and not the original V-1 hanging in NASM for many years. A confirmation would be good!

Last time I saw it it was on the gear and looking close to complete. The size really surprised me, it has alot taller stance than I imagined.
According to the latest newsletter the V-1 is actually a collection of parts that can be assembled into a complete Buzz Bomb.
Maybe someday they can get the "Swoose" for a restoration project. Hah, Hah.
Actually I was hoping for the Me410

If you could help me with a photo of the V 1 either assembled or in parts and a permission to use the photo I'd be very interest! - it's for my website...

Next time I go to the Restoration Center I'll get some photos. Might be a couple of weeks though.

The restoration center is closed to the public until spring, so it looks like I'll have to wait awhile before I can get my first look at the Buzz Bomb.
