Where is the A-20 being offered for sale?

Good question. I guess in the warbird world everything is for sale. It has not been worked on since it was trucked in. NWM (HAG) doesn't have the resources, have their own projects, and generally don't want to work on it as it is not their airplane. After all the work that was done on it in PA and OH (MAPS?) I don't know why it ended up at Geneseo just to sit unfinished. I heard it was for sale.

Being so rare IDK why one of the collectors out there doesn't snap it up and finish it and fly it. The A-26 I can understand and I have seen the add for it.

Ultimately I'd like to see NWM acquire the A-26 and A-20, but that's unlikely. The A-20 would be the more exciting of the two to see stay in Geneseo. But they still have the B-23 to start working on. When I was talking to Austin Hancock at the show he was saying that the priorities for the museum are:

1. C-47 Normandy Trip
2. Lucy Gal P-51 Project
3. B-23 Project

I believe we'll see the B-23 assembled for static display, and then eventually restored for flight as funds permit.

Hey Ollie, I’m finally checking in. That was a fun evening at Geneseo. Considering all the cloud we found some nice light for the images.

Hey Eric!

It was indeed quite the flight!

Hopefully there'll be a repeat...
