Been a few over the last few years and I assume NMNA are working there way through. The F6F and F4U are making good progress as is an SBD.

NMNA probably have the TBD in mind for a recovery at some stage and possibly another SBD which is a Operation Torch veteran - originally slated for last year but went for the FM-2 instead. I would have thought the SBD would be the next one and possibly this year but I am sure they depends on so many other things.

Are they still relying on sponsorship for the recoveries (especially with ongoing sequestration) Mark?

Relying on sponsorship, Yes.

Here's another Wildcat recovery I wasn't aware of that happened just six months ago (on 'Doomsday' 12-21-2012). It looks like they are still steadily pulling them up on a regular basis.
