The Flying heritage Collection's DH 98 Mosquito T III that flew in New Zealand as ZK-FHC2 has been test flown at their base at Paine Field in Seattle, WA.  An earlier post on it at Ardmore is at http://nzcivair.blogspot.co.nz/2016/09/dh-98-t-iii-mosquito-zk-fhc-airborne.html

The Mosquito has been repainted in the US as NS838 UP-J of 605 Squadron from 1944 which was a night intruder painted with black undersides.  It was the aircraft of Alan Wagner and was named "Wags War Wagon".

Its first US flight was on 23 June 2017, flown by Steve Hinton.
