I for one was glad to see the Mk. XVI go to someone who was going to rebuild and fly it, since it didn't really fit in with the collection. They have a Mk. V (trop) and PR. XI now, which are much more relevant to the U.S.A.A.F.'s history. Too bad the Mk. V is painted in an Eagle Squadron scheme instead of Twelfth Air Force desert camoflage though! Just my opinion......
