I fully understand why the Principal Major Players Evergreen Intl. and Collings are keeping things hush hush. But assuming this deal does indeed go thru just for fun what aircraft would Collings perhaps want to get for their substantial financial committment? I will start I would hope that the P-38 that I saw there in 2013 might finally come out of a 25 year self imposed retirement. I think it flew in there around 1990 or so and has not flown since.
I do know that a P-38 has been on Collings wish list for quite some time. Anybody else care to speculate as that is what this is speculation just for fun or course. I read somewhere that this potential deal would allow Collings to come out of this with 6 aircraft.
The deal was signed on June 25th, so it is all done and final. Collings Foundation is not the only principal on agreement, and the agreement is not an aircraft only deal. There will be some aircraft that eventually leave the museum, but not all at once. Some of them will be taken apart and shipped out, and some of them will be returned to flight status on site, and towed to the airport across the street for their departure. Some of that work will start in the next couple of months for those of you that are local.
As for the list of specific aircraft, I will let you keep speculating. Some of you are pretty close, but some of you are mentioning aircraft not owned by Evergreen Vintage Aircraft. There are several entities that own aircraft that make up the museum. There was only one involved in the settlement.
The number is not 6.
