Such a beauty. Would kill to have the money to buy and fix her up. Probably would have to check every single square in on her though and make sure the thing is even capable of still flying.

You'd most likely have to replace most of the structure to get it in flyable condition. It would be a rebuild not a restoration.

It looks like everything needs fixing on that bird. It might not be able to even fly anymore. Restore the outside and it will make a good souvenir item to put on a lawn somewhere as a landmark or something.

I always wanted a Soviet tank to put on my front lawn. Figure it would keep the neighbors in line!  :old:  :D

That's a former reno racer who raced as one of the 3 different "miss bardahl" planes.

That's a clipped wing stang and I believe the spare engine might be out of a P51h.
