That have already been restored. Plus the derelicts in the photos.
Also inside is a P-51D, some Lavochkins (La-9/La-11), a Stinson L-5, and loads of jets. There are also some replica aircraft inside like a Zero made from sheet metal and plywood. The Mosquito uses substantial original parts (like the wing), but is more or less a shell.
The P-61 is not at this museum.
