I would hope that no more warbirds get taken from civillian ownership to be mishandled or left to rot by the US govt anymore. I hope that the remaining P4Ys go to private flying museums to represent the sorely neglected history of the Navy coastal patrol. The AF has several B-24s at closed air bases around the country that are wasting away. These roadside museums have little public traffic and these artifacts (airplanes) could be better placed at said "National Air and Space Museum".
Just my opinion............
: perhaps one of these could be donated to the Nat'l Air an
: d Space Museum whose craftsman could go to work on it and
: convert it to a B-24 which is so deserving of a spot in th
: eir new building!
