That's it..sounds like it's time to invade Australia. Then we can get all those birds back for free as "war prizes." 8)

hmm that works for me, (worked ok for Japan and Germany too?)

or how about they simply adopt us as the next 9 newest states (I'm throwing NZ in for free) and they can use us as a high security, remote location to store all their valuable heritage collections,

That A-20 was still disassembled at Aero Trader at Chino as of late May. I've heard that it will be there still for quite some time before leaving for Australia.

When I was at the Chino airshow this year we stopped at Aerotrader and checked out the A-20. One of the workers there said if the right offer was made, the owner would be willing to part with it. Anyone know if there's any truth to this? BDK, Cindy ???????

Why don't they just hook on to the B-25 and tow it? Think of all the gas it will save. Just go get that hitch off the 106 and your in business.
