Actually I would like to see that one go to the Pacific War Museum and be placed next to "Swamp ghost" and other relics. It's a type in use at the time of Pearl Harbor and it was based in Hawaii. That's it's best place. Too expensive to restore to flying and someone would spend less getting one from the U.S. govt.

Two actually. Pima's B-18 is not Air Force owned.
