: I understand your thoughts Karen & Scott.
:
: This question still begs to be asked.
:
: Aircraft A & B were in the war and both saw action.
: Aircraft A survived the war.
: Aircraft B crashed during the war.
:
: Aircraft B was written off the books by the military. Air
: craft A was sold as scrap after the war.
:
: Both were later purchased and restored, now, are they both
: restored aircraft, or only the one that carries the docum
: entation for the FAA.
:
: This is my question. My opinion is they both have verifia
: ble history and should be considered as restorations.
This is strictly my opinion and I'm not contesting yours in any way. I think this scenario would have to be fleshed out a little more. I think in this scenario, if the center section of aircraft B was used as the basis for a rebuild then fine, it would be aircraft B. But using a tail wheel from aircraft B, with the remainder new built would make this a replica. Just my opinion.
