I saw several of them land at an air show in California about 45 years ago. They were the ones used in the making of the TV series “12 O’clock High”. It was an almost eerie sight.

“It was an almost eerie sight.’

I could be wrong, but is there one at Camarillo, CA airport (a former Air Force Base)?
They have a very good airshow usually in Aug.
And there is an Air Museum there.
Some sorts of restorations take place at Camarillo, also, I think.

As an FYI - 12 O'clock High, the 1949 BW film, starring Gregory Peck as Gen. Frank Savage, is available in several video formats.

Of the authors of the book (same name), Beirne Lay and Sy Bartlett, Bartlett was a member of Gen. Spaatz's staff.
