And then how many million to restore/make airworthy?
about 2-3 more depending on how fancy they want it.
Me personally I would put it back as period correct as possible. Growing up in Lancaster my dad would always take me out to the airport there. They have a place there for the CAF and at one time they were home to a super nice F4U, avenger, zero, skyraider, and they have always had a dc3 out there. I remember once when my dad almost threw me in the car and we hauled ass out there to see a p51 that had come in for a quick stop and a refuel. When he was leaving we were 20 yards away when he started it up and taxied out. I just remember it being the sweetest sound I had ever heard of being so close to it sitting there running.
