This is excellent - it would be marvellous to have a living breathing F model on both sides of the Atlantic :)

Also bodes well for alot of corroding hulks in the pacfic as well :)

I'd love to see a flying Dinah :)

You and me both mate. 15 years ago I would have said no chance. Now we see brand new Me262s and Fw190s in the air, and new Oscars being built. The technology is there to rebuild from the barest of bones and sometimes even less. :)

Not exactly going out on a limb here, but a fiver says she'll end up in the American Air Museum at Duxford. If they ease Mary Alice forward, turn the B-29 to the left a bit and tilt the B-52 on its side, I'm sure they'll get it in. :roll:
