: MARC suing of the restoration of theor B-26 Marauder
Was there in October and saw a wing of this aircraft... one of the recoveries from the "Million Dollar Valley" that Tallichet recovered. Work on the wing seemed fair to my eye... but I didn't see the rest. This museum is small potatoes, mainly consisting of demil static jets and some rooms in a hangar that was formerly a flight test facility for GE. I wouldn't place the worth of the actual museum above $500,000 and MARC is suing for $750? I wonder if Tallichet is getting an offer of a better deal someplace else and is applying pressure to get it out... he never seems motivated to move airplanes from a storage location to a new spot unless he is getting something out of it (case in point, the Skyraider at Geneseo, NY). I'd start looking for who wants to buy it or is offering to "restore" it for him to get to the bottom of this one.
