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.
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.
