The really sad thing about all those aircraft still sitting there, is that when you look at the few close-ups, the metal is in a terribly corroded condition.
Particularly sad for certain Japanese aircaft of which no complete preserved specimens remain.
With a huge amount of money and the right attitude, it might still just be possible to try and rescue some of the rarer stuff before it is too far gone even for a static restoration ?
Surely it's better to spend your resources recovering and rebuilding the last possible example of a type, rather than yet another P51, B25, A26, etc etc etc.......even if you can't make it fly ?
Wonder if they would open up to mine and Tony's charms.......because they sure as hell don't open up to rich gringos from the west who spend their spare time counting and rolling about in their money........
