Country: | The people that have these birds wasting away in their "muesums" have no hope of ever restoring them. They either don't want anyone else to have them or they want to much money for them.

| It's flyable in Il-2 Sturmovik 1946. Yesterday, p47thunderbolt crashed one into a tower, I was his gunner for this (very short) mission.  | |

Country: | I've driven past that Avenger Hulk at the Blaine airport several times. There used to be a Museum named Polar Aviation up there as well, had an A-26 sitting behind the hanger that as the story goes flew in for an airshow, had engine troubles and was parked. Sat for many years. They also had a F-82 in the hanger that was being restored. Polar closed several years ago, never knew what happened to the dozen or so aircraft they had on hand? | |

Country: | I remember as a kid there was playground near me that had a Sabre jet from the Korean war to play on. A couple years ago I went back and it was gone. Nobody knew where it went. Shame.

That's at the Thai Army Airbase at Lopari - about 60 miles north of Bangkok. I was there in 2001. A major on the base told me that they were still US property and "I could have them." The problem was getting them out of the country and getting State Department approval. They really weren't in bad shape and I know there were a few restorable airframes.

You bring them and I'll fix them 
Keep one each and sell the rest. | |

Keep one each and sell the rest. | Hey - I spoke to people about trying to bring them back and said the same thing - a lot of talk, no action.
I'm an aircraft mechanic by trade - I could have one of those flying in no time - that's all I wanted out of the deal - one flyable aircraft.
Any idea where you found that photo? I was at that base for about a week surveying UH-1s for a contract my company was bidding on. There were also T-41s and Maules there as well.
