One of the kids in my boy scout troop was the son of an aviation simulation pioneer named Rudy Frasca. Rudy also loved to restore vintage planes, esp., WWII planes. It was a treat to go out to their airfield and see the planes. I don’t at all remember what I saw though. I know several were used in various war movies.

ETA: sorry, it was the video of the vintage restored plane ditching in the prior thread that made me think of this.
