That is the plan at this time. But believe me, its a decision only desired by a few and not the many.

Other hopeful plans are to enclose it in a glass dome. But these plans are just ideas being discussed. I for one think this is a step in the wrong direction altogether. But it is the estimated projection of what is to come.

But heck, how long will it take to restore the fighter? 8, 10 years? :wink:

I have those manuals.

Another person here on WIX needs a copy of the IPB also. How long would you need them?
