So they have announced that the XP-82 won the Grand Champion Warbird at Sun and Fun.(surprise!)

What are the speculation that it wins at Osh?

Hmm, the Lancasters' might be closer (having just looked at MOTAT's in its new position yesterday).
I would love to see the XP-82 one day!

I don’t know where that Russia rumor came from. It’s not going there and is officially for sale. There’s now an ad up for it in the latest Warbirds Intl.

Doesn't the second part of your statement negate the first part - if it is officially for sale it could go anywhere to the highest bidder.

It can be yours for a paltry sum of $16 Million U.S.D.
