I hope after all the time, money and effort they took to restore that
P-38, they just didn't put it on display outside...rather then inside
a hanger or building out of the elements and away from vandels

IIRC:
Its only a cosmetic restoration, never meant to fly since the damage and
corrosion was so extensive. and I really don,t think any vandals are going
to get at it much, since its on a active US air base. Elmendorf AFB, AK.
