I asked this on the Fort Collins LB-30 thread, with no response, so I am still wondering if anyone would know what became of the Lib that was stopped from being exported to Florida. Its very frustrating to think this project is maybe just sitting in storage(?) after the massive effort to remove it from the woods and prepare it for shipping. Thanks for any information.

If you're talking about the B-24 that Tom Reilly recovered, it's still sitting in storage. When the Liberty Belle was on it's Canadian tour this summer, they saw it sitting there, and said that the sheet metal still looked good.
