Doesn't look to be too much room in there for the P-39 that's he's just bought

Under or above ground? I'm still looking for the Boerne Zepplin shed.

But does this man plan to keep these airplanes for a long time? Or is a museum in the works if not already? Sure I would if I could. I kinda hope this man plans on saving all those road side aircraft.

I believe people here have mentioned that he is looking for a site for a potential museum.

I can't say exactly what they're doing, but I have heard this from one of the GG crew. You certainly can't say that he's stingy with the planes. They took several of them up to Fredericksburg - which was a strictly at owners expense deal with some other pilots flying them as well. I had a real nice chat with the fellow who was flying the P-51 that day.

I would love to see him buy the B-29 named "DOC" and get her in the area.
