I would take my money over to Planes of Fame to restore some of their projects and add one or two.
First, The B-17, perhaps a bit usual, but the centerpiece of any museum. The most recognizable Warbird?
The Martin AM-1 Mauler, high cost restoration, rare, but technically fascinating aircraft. And its got a 4360!
P-39 to Airworthy. The only type that is truly missing from the skies at Chino...
Smithsonian Static restorations of the P-12 and P-26, with 5 "continuation" copies of each aircraft built. What great sportplanes these could be...
Oh and a P-51D of my very own. Because I would want to fly it on any day with a Y in it.
