That's pretty cool.

Nice pictures of some of 35 aircraft have started hitting the net also.

Money better spent than slingshotting a tesla into space I think...

Dig the colors still so bright on the Wildcat.
 
Some of those aircraft are devastators, and they look to be in nice shape! They should raise a couple since there are no existing examples left!

the colours look pristine!

Geeks diggin' deep on that Wildcat.
 
It's interesting to see salmon color primer on a Wildcat. Wonder what Mr Dana Bell would say. :hmm
 
My Dad was on the Lex,he went over the fan tail on a rope when they abandon ship.
He was an engine room crewman. He got a civilian job at Millington Naval Air Station at the power plant when the war was over and when he retired he was running the place.
