...that Yanks Air Museum has had a beautiful Corsair project in its restoration hangar for well over two decades, and that it always seems to miss its turn at being restored?

I haven't been there since 1990, but even at that time the curator told me "it's probably going to be up for restoration next". They have accomplished many world class restorations since then, yet the old Corsair remains perpetually 'displayed' in a dusty corner of the hangar. Of course, I can think of no better way to add character and ambiance to a restoration hangar than to permanently display a "Corsair project in progress", but I'd sure LOVE to see that ol' -4 get her chance at a proper rebirth :)
