Any of our transatlantic correspondents able to confirm? Would be nice to have another ‘109’ airworthy, and with Breighton’s one tantalisingly close to flight as well… 😀

Yay! Another Buchon flying! Great stuff! Would be great to see a formation!
Harold Kindsvater’s N109W;
CAF’s N109ME;
Cavanaugh Museum’s N109GU; and
Planes of Fame’s N700E
(Maybe the makers of “The Few” are eyeing these up?! :D)

Steve,
I saw this airplane about two years ago. It was sponsored in the CAF by Dan Lawson, who I know from T-28 days. Dan was a Marine F9F Panther pilot and has a ton of time in the T-28, as well as a bunch of other warbirds. Don’t know if Dan did the first flight, but he is more than qualified.
Sounds like they finally got her going. Great news! Now who can fill in some details?
