They were never "lost" just in storage...many warbirds are in long term storage due to not being needed for display or awaiting a buyer...

Awesome find!
Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

License built ME-109s from Hispano Aviación.  Actually CASA HA-1109 or HA-1112s, but cool none the less.  Note the difference in the Merlin engine exhaust stacks coming out of the top sides versus the bottom sides on the Daimler-Benz DB 605A of the ME-109.
Got to fiddle with one of those while a member of the AZ wing of the CAF many years ago.  Very interesting airplane.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
