I heard a rumor that the NHC is filing suit against Peter Jackson to reclaim ownership of this F8C; apparently, he obtained information on this aircraft from a book without obtaining permission from the NHC to read said book.
Ok, I'm kidding, but only partially. I wouldn't put such a retarded move past them. On a more friendly note, that's an outstanding replica, and perhaps we should get some movers and shakers in Hollywood to convince Peter Jackson to do a film on Midway... and have the same builders construct equally convincing replicas of TBDs, since the NHC refuses to pull their heads out of their collective behinds regarding recovery of actual aircraft.
Not that I'm still bitter about that or anything...
