The only thing I find curious about the new owner of the damaged P-82 & P-38 is that he only buys project aircraft. Now he's traded a flyer for two more projects. It's interesting to follow though. Not only does he buy projects, but also he will sometimes buy two or three of the same type of project plane. He's the only guy I can recall that's ever done this on such a scale.

I personally thought it was a fair trade since the CAF likes airworthy planes, and the other party likes project planes. In the end, value is in the eye of the beholder I suppose.

I remember reading O'Leary's statement as well. I figure he's either had a personal run in with the man who traded for the project planes, or he's confounded enough about the nature of the trade that he's looking to force a public response :) Strong words!
