I understand that this had been the plan for quite a while to have access to longer runways.

Longer Runways=Bigger Toys

But how many of their aircraft actually fly? The Bf109 was shipped to the US before it flew, and appears to have been parked since arriving, the same appears to be the case for the Fw190.

Not many, the combat-veteran P-51 showed up at Oshkosh '05 and thats the only plane of FHC that I've ever seen fly. There are pictures on the FHC website but I don't think they fly the planes alot, Steve Hinton is one if not the only person who flys those planes, decision well understood though.

Hey there norm,

We meet again, Glad to see your post.. I too had wondered how well
things were going out there. How's the B-17 coming along? Ready
to begin large scale assembly yet?

Not likely to happen at Arlington, eh?

Great. Maybe at Paine Field I can find the place!
I went to Arlington last year and couldn't find the museum...the only thing I saw was a tattered old WWII hangar.

It is hard to find, we used to call it area 51, it.s on the SW side of the airport in regular hangars, and if you are there on any day except Fri or Sat it's closed. Hopefully that will all change at Paine.

Aaaaahhhh... You were on the wrong side of the airfield. Go to the Washington locator at...

You will find a map link for the FHC. The old hanger you are referring to is the former "Air Station Museum". There is a map link for that one as well.
