Conserve it as is, and put it in the Ilmiovat museum...

I'm a huge prewar USN fan, but it would be a travesty of the absolute highest order to do ANYTHING but conserve this incredibly rare aircraft as it is, in it's original markings, and put it on display next to the original P-39Q (also in original markings) on display in Finland. There is simply no other reasonable answer. There are plenty of other Buffaloes to be found in the deep waters surrounding Midway Is., for example, but the morons at the NHC steadfastly refuse to go after these artifacts... same with TBD BuNo 0353. And to think these knuckleheads call themselves "public servants"... grrrrr!

Bring it home to Finland. That's where it belongs.
