Does the MAPS Air Museum still have an A-24 in their collection? I dont see it listed on their website anymore.

I was wondering if that had anything to do with the stuff that MAPS got that was on the Intrepid?

We got the planes from the Intrepid several months before the A-24 left. I don't think there was any connection.
