I don't know yet whats gonna happen to this wreck,and even if it looks complete,it would be a shame to restore it to flying conditions,since you would still have to take it apart completely and re-build most of it,losing much of the original material,only to bring back to the skies a not so rare warbird.
As I said,I hope that it will be taken to a museum and exposed as it was found,since this is a proper archaeological find,not a restorable barn find.
archaeological find, barn find either way they really need to get it out of there before it "disappears" in the dead of night...at the very least that is a 100,000 dollar gimme just sitting in the sand.
