The blades are hollow steel Aeroproducts. I don't think you can straighten them like aluminum blades. I think I have a prop gear reduction nose case for a P-63.

Things have been stable and secure at the Military Aviation Museum for the past couple of months, and no further sales are anticipated or being entertained... I am beyond pleased to be able to reiterate that info, direct from several different sources at the facility.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled speculation.

Can we speculate that maybe the M.A.M. will be able to return some aircraft to flight status next season? :D

I agree that straightening hollow steel propellers is not really an option. At least not to return to flight status. Truly amazing that Jay has some for sale!!

And yet a large portion of the collection is still publicly listed as being for Sale?

This is something I've been curious about too. It's possible that Platinum Fighter Sales just takes awhile to remove unlisted aircraft from there inventory. If I had the money..... that Corsair would be up in Stratford by now.
