If I'm keeping score correctly, the only US planes from WW2 the museum does not have is the P-38 and the Hellcat. Thats very impressive.

James, is there anything going on with the B-26 Marauder these days? As I recall from a previous post of yours restoration had been postponed because there was no inside space to display it.

Which they used to have both,
The F6F is now in navy museum, and the P-38 burned up in a fire in France.

I remember seeing the Hellcat at Pima years ago. As I recall it was pulled up from the seafloor off of San Diego.

Thanks for the insights and beautiful pics! That Privateer looks just right with the two turrets on top!
