Regarding the facts, if you can create an aircraft from parts and then register it. Why would you register it as a new "replica" when you can attach it to paperwork already extant. I realize that your feelings are different on this than mine, and I respect that point of view. But lets face facts. There is more new material going into restoration than ever before, and aircraft once destroyed will be recreated. As an aside, in a moment of vengence, smelting anything historic is just emotional vigilanteism. I understand why you may hate the remains of the aircraft, but the aircraft did not kill him. He killed himself.

As for the P-38...I doubt that one will come back. The P-38 stuff is so rare and piecemeal my bets are no more than one or two 38's will emerge in the future...thats it.
