With all due respect for warbirds, I would give the only surviving Burnelli priority over the Xth A-26. I remember the Burnelli sitting in a clearing in the woods along the Bradley airport perimeter road as early as 1980 and as lates as 1990 (I think). I hope it eventually managed to get a roof over its head, but I sure think it is overdue for a complete restoration.
