Depends on the defintion applied of course. I wouldn't say they'll get it
flying, somehow.


Ummm yup, another pile of corroded aluminum that will be 100% replaced
by hand made new parts at a cost of 2.5x 10e6, then declared to be a
'restoration' and worshipped by the EAA... yawn


I'm a dues-paying member of TIGHAR, so you may take what I say with
a grain of salt. Ric Gillespie and the organization are definitely
against "restoring" the plane to mint condition. The goal, I think,
is to recover the plane and preserve it as an archeological artifact:
