Did You Know...
Four (4) P-61's are in existance today, but

January 1945 the P-61B crashed and pan-caked
on the side of a mountain, all crew members
survived, the P-61 was left and was not salvaged at the 7,000 foot altitude.
It will be put back to flying condition,when it does it will be the only P-61 flying in

A P-61 is on display at the USAF Museum
located in Dayton, Ohio, USA.
Another is being restored at the Mid-Atlantic
Air Museum, Reading, Pennsylvania USA.
After its restortation, it will be the only
P-61 Black Widow flying in the world.
The last one on display in the United States
is at the National Air & Space Museum located
in Washington, DC.
"A Long Way From Home"
One of the four (4) P-61's in existence is
on static display outside at the Beijing
Institute of Aeronautical Engineering that is located in Beijing, Communist China.
The Story behind the story:
In the final days of World War II three P-61
Night Fighters, were stolen, by Communist
troops the aircraft must have been abandoned
and were unservicable.
Its hard to imagine the USAAF letting three of of its advanced night fighters fall into the hands of the Commies.
The other two were destroyed, the other was
kept, and is now at the Beijing Institute of
Aeronautical Engineering.

Did You Know...
The P-61 was part of a program testing early
ejection seats. One of those ejection seats
came from a captured Heinkel He 162 in August
1945.
