What are the plans if any for the B-17 in storage in France at the Musee de l'Air? Anyone know?

I would assume to be restored for static once space, time, and money exist. Do any aircraft from the national museum ever fly again on loan or something? Or are they hardlined like the NASM?

Don't forget the other B-17 in France, the recently sidelined flyer "Pink Lady".
They say it will fly again....

One only hopes. Such a shame she's been grounded,

The probability to see the B17 of the "Musée de L'air" flying equals zero : firstly because there is the other B17 who's a better candidate to fly again (It's mostly a question of money to do a complete overhaul : this plane is flying since decades without any major restoration)

The other reason: in the past the Musée de L'air had a Dewoitine D-520 flying on the airshow circuit. It was lost with his pilot Christian Bove in an accident in 1986. Since the museum has a "no flight" politic.
