About "Hot Stuff"

"Hot Stuff" is currently the world's only flying PV-2
in a military configuration.

In 1990, a group of pilots who formed the nucleus of the AMHF purchased a PV-2 (N2697C) from it's owners in Tyler, Texas where it had been partially restored. It was ferried to Mt. Comfort airport and 12 months later was ready for WWII commemorative air shows. It's longest and most profitable trip to date was the 1995 WWII "Freedom Flight".

The American Military Heritage Foundation's PV-2 is the only one of its type still flying in military configuration and is in demand at air shows throughout the country.

"Hot Stuff" featured on NOVA

NOVA, produced for PBS by the Science Unit at WGBH Boston, came to the AMHF to film our PV-2 Harpoon. The ground, inflight and dramatized footage they shot was used as part of a documentary on the PV-1 and it's role in WWII. This program, "Last flight of Bomber 31" aired on PBS stations nationwide in January, 2003. Copies of the program are available from the NOVA web site.
