We have a Stearman 75 at the Tri-State Warbird Museum. Just saw it Saturday. Here is a link to the operational aircraft, and its the fourth one down the page. It flew for display at the Dayton Air Show recently.
We just bought some new props for the P-40 which had a "Hard Landing" when the motor blew in 2011. I think the props were about $100K for the 3.
As for reproductions, our museum is working on a German FW-190 rebuilding it(Its a reproduction).
We just acquired a C-45, which came from Ottawa, Canada about 2 weeks ago.
Its a Twin engine Beech. One of our WW2 vets paid for it!!!! It should fly in September if they get done tweaking it. Looks great however.
I took my daughter to the museum Saturday and she got a nice thrill by sitting in the pilots seat of the B-25, and had the headset on. Dad had to take some shots, which are now on her facebook page. Naturally she had to have an "Axis Nightmare" B-25 t-shirt!!!
