Wouldn't that be great! For a flying Vengence in the states, it would be quite a sight! I know that there are at least two survivors, but they as far as I know are down under and not airworthy. It would be nice to have a flyer represented here for a while before staticing somewhere, as the USAAF's experiments to match the Stuka in dive bombing effectiveness are all but extinct. The date deployed for most of the performers are more like first flight dates, and the speeds fairly optimistic. Also interesting that their display Mustang is supposed to have a Packard Merlin 68, a Lincoln powerplant, but a strong engine nonetheless.
I doubt a Vengence will fly here though.
