John,
I say this is, and not knowing myself personally, but if the P-38 and A-20 ARE maintained as flyble but not flown, from a mechanics point of view, a quick once over, engine runs, and service check would do the trick for ferry permits wouldn't it ?
Or..pardun the pun...am I all wet here ?
God willing the folks down in the path of Rita are gonna get through it okay. The planes can be fixed down the road...but sheesh....people come first.

Oh man here we go again....."airworthy" but not flying. Just like all of those "flying and airworthy" airplanes at Yanks in Chino.

John,
not meant to "start" something unpleasent here. Just only repeating what I was told. Not unlike the time I visted the Champlin Fighter Museum some years ago....they too, ostensibly were all flyable, but not flown. For obvious reasons, not the least of which are AVGas, parts, and Insurance of any kind, one can understand why something may be airworthy but not flown. Especially on Warbird fighters...such as a P-38 for example. Rare plane and insurance are two words that just don't seem to fit well together on a tight budget.
Just my two cents.
Paul
