Guess you have to have a Congressman in your pocket, er, on your side to have a chance! Once it enters DM the chances of getting it out in one piece diminish rapidly! Being a museum and getting a line on an aircraft BEFORE it goes there seems to be the better bet, as long as it isn't a combat aircraft! :shock: It can be done, through miles and miles of channels! Get your bids in early before they are all gone.
