Aero Trader A-20 Restoration?

[Warbird Kid]

I had heard that the A-20 was being restored to fly by Aero Trader for a Russian owner.

I think we had a hint from Carl in Air Classics a couple of months ago, that the A-20 would be a static resto. For the same customer he is currently doing a B-25 static resto. At least, that is what I interpreted it to be.

Just to add an update/final confirmation to this thread from last year, this A-20 (44-0020), the same one that used to be at Geneseo, was photographed at Chino yesterday, now completed to static-display configuration only, and being made ready to be shipped to Russia for the same owner/museum that Aero Trader completed a matching, static, B-25 for last year.

I would assume Vadim Zadorozhny's Technical Museum. Hopefully one day she'll be bought back by someone with the intention of flying her. One airworthy A-20 thats hardly seen by the public isn't enough.

GossHawk is supposed to be restoring the oldest surviving Havoc, A-20/YF-3 39-745, as a flyer. Any update on that one?

(Scott, you may want to add it to the Registry.)
