Thanks for that link, Phil, but I'll reserve my judgment until after the convention. (I am planning to go to Oshkosh.) The text says we will have a chance to see the A-20 fly, but since it was ferried to Oshkosh several weeks ago and Lewis Air Legends aircraft don't typically fly a lot during the convention, I'm afraid what is meant is just that we will have the chance to see a flyable A-20. Big difference in my book.

...Originally spared to be a movie prop for postwar films, the A-20 was eventually purchased by Rod Lewis, who had it completely restored to its wartime appearance after an earlier owner modified it to be an executive transport aircraft...

What aircraft is this (the A-20) and who was doing the executive conversion?

Former Willie Farah and former Lone Star.

Donated by William F. Farah to NASM, returned to estate by court order, sold to LSFM. I can imagine the circumstances, but I wonder what the story is there?
