Only two left in the world. Worth the trip to Hawaii to check it out once the restoration work is completed.

Didn't think any where left but for "rust buckets" laying in some jungle...

Well that is how the two survivors in private/museum hands originated. ; )

Here is the history of this particular "Kate", the one at the Pacific Aviation Museum: http://www.pacificwrecks.com/aircraft/b5n/jacquinot.html

The other example in private/museum ownership is in the UK (by last public report): http://www.pacificwrecks.com/aircraft/b5n/5353.html
