From what I remember an offer was made to restore the P-38 held by the PNG Museum , in exchange for the salvage of another aircraft [ maybe the Swamp Ghost B-17E ] , but it was turned down for reasons I can't remember .... so it is not as though that approach hasn't been tried previously . The Oz A-20 recoveries seem to be the exception .
