: How many P-38s in the US are in need of restoration?
: I can think of:
: White Lightning
: Skatterbrain Kid 2
: Kermit Weeks's
: Tom Reily's

Tallichet's P-38 44-27231 that Flying Heritage Collection bought, while flyable, really needed some work. So I wouldn't be surprised if FHC has it completely torn down and restored.

Then there's the two P-38s that came into the US from the SW Pacific last year and then disappeared from sight.

And whatever's left of 44-26969 NL7973 that Jeff Ethell died in.
