In case anyone is interested, a P-59A is about to come back to life and return to the skies over Southern California some time in late 2004 to early 2005.
It is being restored by The Air Museum Planes of Fame in Chino, California, and is on display in their jet hanger. The all-volunteer team spends every Saturday restoring it to flight status, and they will soon be featured in an upcoming article in the Smithsonian Magazine.
You can learn more by visiting www.PlanesOfFame.com. Hope you get to see it!
The title needs to be corrected. The P-59 was the original piston-engined aircraft. The jets were all P-59As. --squadfifteen
There are a number of surviving P-59As, so just mentioning the example at the Museum of the USAF is inadequate. The P-59A in the Milestones of Flight Gallery at the National Air and Space Museum is more notable. Willy Logan 21:07, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

I would like to say that during testing fake propellers were added to disguise the planes.-- Commander v99 ( talk) 22:28, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
