I totally disagree!!!
I only know of one other Million Dollar airframe being restored in Ohio, and the reason it won't fly is no landing gear. No this one of Kermit's is too valuable and very rare. The only other Marauders are the NASM's, USAF Museum's the one in France, and a wreck in New Guinea. This isn't some Zero or Yak 3 or FW-190 replica that can easily be put together, then purchased for 500,000 or whatever they are charging. This is the only fully restored early short wing Marauder around.
