HK-3293 being worked on very intensely, inside the Air Colombia hangar in 2015. This airplane suffered a landing accident in San Felipe on the Venezuelan border in July 2018, and was transported back to Villavicencio by river barges in a 2000km epic journey.

Bought from the Wings of Eagles Discovery Center (formerly the National Warplane Museum) in Elmira (NY) around 2014. They had it painted as USAAF 43-30709, which is still showing on the tail, together with its new Colombian id, HK-4971. Still being worked on at the Allas Ramp, but no reports even several years later of this ship being operational.

The two-seat Model 47B was the first commercial evolution of Bell's pioneering Model 30 and this example, the 36th built, is on display at the NASM Udvar-Hazy Center. This rather unassuming helicopter has actually a rather impressive pedigree: it set the World's hovering record of fifty hours, fifty seconds and its last flight occurred in Dec. 2004, more than 57 years after its first flight to make it the longest-flying helicopter in history.

This is in reality 44-83624 but was produced too late to see combat in WWII, instead saw extensive service first in a highly secret project that resurrected the idea of using obsolete aircraft as radio-controlled flying bombs (MB-17G) and then as a drone-control aircraft (DB-17G) in the ground-to-air missile development program. After retirement and a seven year restoration she is now on display at the AMC Museum as 'Sleepy Time Gal' from the 381st Bomb Group.

This is in reality 44-83624 but was produced too late to see combat in WWII, instead saw extensive service first in a highly secret project that resurrected the idea of using obsolete aircraft as radio-controlled flying bombs (MB-17G) and then as a drone-control aircraft (DB-17G) in the ground-to-air missile development program. After retirement and a seven year restoration she is now on display at the AMC Museum as 'Sleepy Time Gal' from the 381st Bomb Group.

In the 1930s, eight Sparrowhawks were adapted with a hook mechanism on the upper wing to test one of the more imaginative ideas in aviation history. The F9C-2s were deployed with the USS Akron and USS Macon, thereby turning these airships into flying aircraft carriers. This rebuilt example is on display at the Udvar-Hazy Center.
