Preserved Aircraft
A Fi-156C-7 VD+TD (Luftwaffe) is preserved at the South African Air Force Museum, AFB Swartkop, Pretoria, South Africa. It was acquired by the South African Air Force in 1946, and is today, preserved by the SAAF Museum in airworthy condition, but seldom flown.
The Fantasy of Flight museum in Florida, is one of the very few aviation museums that has both a Storch and Piper L-4 Grasshopper in their collection, and reportedly both aircraft are airworthy.

Famous quotes containing the word preserved:
“But at my back I always hear
Time’s winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
Thy beauty shall no more be found,
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
My echoing song: then worms shall try
That long preserved virginity:
And your quaint honor turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust:
The grave’s a fine and private place,
But none, I think, do there embrace.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
