Gee Bee R-2 Racer

This was the only flying replica of the Bee Gee R-2 in the world. Owner/pilot Delmar Benjamin had hoped to find a sponsor to buy it and donate it to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. This failed and the R-2 will join the Bee Gee Z at Kermit Weeks' Fantasy of Flight in Florida. (as of 15 Feb 04)

The Pacific Flyer reported in its February 2004 paper that Kermit Weeks may fly the Bee Gee Z and Benjamin's R-2 at special museum events, once repairs are made to the R-2.
