No, Bill posted his little rebuttal because he thinks the OP is an
idiot but hopes he will come to his senses anyway.

Throughout history there have been many irreplaceable treasures lost
because nobody thought future generations would might like to see the
original instead of a replica. A real, genuine B-17 is a priceless
relic of an age that will never be repeated. Save it.

Mr Bill


If you feel that way you should purchase them and put them in a museum.
Most would not have survived and will not survive without the intent to fly.
Not much money available for the restoration of static displays. Lotsa
money available for flying restorations. Glaicer girl is an excellent
example.
