I don't know if anybody has seen one of these. I'm sure some may have, but I never knew they existed. It's on display at Lackland Airforce Base on their parade field. A very cool plane.

Re: How bout a few Vintage aircraft photos?
 

Confederate/Commemorative Air Force had a flyable P-82 back in the early '80s but it suffered a crash-landing and is only recently getting close to becoming airworthy again. A second P-82 was in an Ohio farmyard for decades until the owner recently died and the airplane went to someone for restoration.

Note that the Lackland P-82 has two left-side props that are probably fiberglass. The CAF needed props for their wrecked P-82 and may have gotten the USAF to let loose the ones on the Lackland airplane. I think I read that the CAF was trying to get the USAF to let them have the good props on the display airplane and replace them with fiberglass facsimiles.

C&amp;P Aviation located at the Anoka County Airport in Minnesota has an F82E that is in the final stages of restoration. I went over the airplane about 10 or so years ago as my brother was hoping to do the wiring. Theirs will be a flying version and not just static.

I can't believe the plane is kept outside! A rare one like this needs to be kept out of the elements.

I think that's great they're getting it flight worthy. I would love to see it fly.
