A search here brings up 22 Jennys currently registered, plus one replica. And thanks for the link to the National Geographic VHS (shame there's not a DVD available), a copy is now on its way to me. Baldeagle, Thanks for the info. So the answer seems to be 3 or 4 flown regularly, plus around the same number potentially airworthy but not currently flown. Quite a record to have flown 4 of them! Does anyone have any info on the status of the Paul Allen one? Is it still flown? Thanks to all who have contributed to this thread, most enlightening.

Ken Hyde JN-4
Ken Hydes Jenny is currently housed at the USMC Quantico, Va Air, Land and Sea Museum, in questionable condition. The last I saw it it was in the quansit hut museum bldgs that had no environmental controls. Also, I believe Ken built this Jenny as trade matieral.

Ken's Jenny is certainly in the Virginia Aviation Museum in Richmond, not in Quantico. The dope is a little cracked from age, but it's otherwise in fine shape. http://www.vam.smv.org/images/VAMJennyBIG.jpg That one flew from Virginia to Oshkosh and back twice, and to many other shows. He won't get rid of that.
The Jenny that he (we) rebuilt that was involved in a trade is in the College Park Aviation Museum in Maryland, http://www.vam.smv.org/images/VAMJennyBIG.jpg The Jenny at Quantico came from a guy in California, Howard Wells I believe. Ken helped with a few parts but otherwise had nothing to do with it. http://www.wwi-models.org/Photos/USA...tico/jenny.jpg |
