This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

As of now (and for the foreseeable future) it is not going anywhere. It is a pretty complete aircraft but probably not much could be reused for an airworthy example.

I must confess I'm not sure but that does sound right. I saw the newest restoration - MOTAT's static but "live" systems example - on Friday but didn't really look too closely at it. I do know our sole flyer is a TBM, though. I was going to link to Classic Flyers, the museum doing the restoration I mentioned last time, but my work internet isn't co-operating.
