Current Registered Model D-145 Monocoupes

There are 5 Model D-145's on the active registry:

NC86570 is on display at the Historic Aircraft Museum at Creve Couer
NC11725 has been restored and is very close to being flown
NC11733 was recently exported to Germany and is stored, not being worked on (confirmed this past week)
NC12389 Robin Reid plane has been in the family forever and is a project
NC17687 restored by Red Lerille and on display at local museum in Louisiana

There are 14 Model D-145's on the deregistered/cancelled database. 

Interesting to note that Charles Lindbergh's D-145 NS-211, held by the Missouri Historical Society is nowhere to be found in any of the FAA databases.  Historical reference give the serial number as D-125, but even a search on serial number comes up empty.
