Hey Tim,

Any word on that Buccaneer at Empire State yet? Here's a post from Dan Ford's Brewster forum that started the rumor. It's dated August 14, 2003.


Empire State Brewster
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, it's not a Buffalo but at least it's close- following from the Empire State Air Museum

"We have a Brewster Buccaneer SB2A (?) in our possession. It is in need of restoration work, but nothing has been done at this time. It belongs to David Tallichet of Military Aircraft Restoration Corp., a Div. of Specialty Restaurants, Executive Offices at 4155 East La Palma Ave., Suite 250, Anaheim, CA 92807, telephone (714)579-3900. We would suggest further questions in regard to this aircraft be directed to Mr. Tallichet."

If I am able to upload here are 4 photos of the B-26 and Brewster SB2A from Empire State. The photos were taken on May 13, 2004 at Pima Air & Space Museum, Tucson, AZ.

The first photo shows overall of aircraft. The B-26 fuselage on the left, the tail section in center and SB2A on right. The second photo shows B-26 fuselage, the third B-26 tail section and the fourth the SB2A.

I will not be back to Tucson until October and I will post if any changes have occured since these photos were taken.

PS when I learn how to upload images to this site from my hard drive I will post them.

Thanks for the update, Bill.

Any idea if Pima has plans (immediate or otherwise) to restore all this good stuff, or will it be displayed as-is?

In case you don't figure out the picture-posting process, you could always e-mail the images to Scott and he'll post them.

Scott will be leaving again tomorrow. You can email the photos to me at dan.johnson@gmail.com (my primary email is down due to DNS issues right now), and I'll get them posted at the first chance.

I have sent the photos to Dan Johnson who said he would post them. As of last May PASM had plans to fiinish the restoration of the B-26 and several other Tallichet aircraft obtained by the museum. I have not been back since May 13 and won't be back in Tucson until early October. As I said in a previous post I will update on the B-26 and other restoration projects at that time.

The museum only does static restoration for display and not for flying. i will be off line for a couple of days in order to put a new hard drive in my laptop.

What types of agreements are there when museums obtain some of these a/c like this (from people like Mr. Tallichet). Did Pima buy them from him, if not who pays for the work? Who over sees it?

Something I've been thinking about lately.

Does anyone know why The B-26 left New York and went to Pima?

I swear I heard about a lawsuit over this aircraft between Tallichet and Empire State.

You did, But I don't know any details. My Dad said something about it once but didn't have any details.

Sounds like Pima will have a great War bird collection! Maybe in a couple years I'll have to swing back down there. I can't wait. They will have one up on Caste and the USAF Museum.
