Sometimes I wish a WWII warbird would fly over my house, hasn't happened yet. 
Too bad this guy was probably foolin'.

There is a Brewster F3A project for sale on Courtesy aircraft for $425,000. Sound like a good deal? Take a look at the photos and decide for yourself...

I was just wondering about that...I thought we were going for a B-25 on the tarmac in Virginia?

C'mon guys, where are the pictures of all these Warbirds you're finding just lying around? I wanna see them otherwise I won't believe you either. I once thought I found the remains of a B-29 on the Sunken Atlantis Continent, but was mistaken, it was just an alien spacecraft and no one would be interested in restoring one of those.
Bet that Corsair had pedals and a chain drive

Seriously, there's a B-25 languishing at an airfield back in Virginia.
We were all talking about pooling our resources and getting it as a ww2aircraft.net project...

I found this one, only $750k:
NORTH AMERICAN B-25 MITCHELL Piston Military Aircraft For Sale At Controller.com
Could not find the one in VA, but I'd be willing to chip in as long as I get to fly in it at least once.

It was great to see everybody really get behind the idea of a project, but like Eric pointed out, it would take a massive amount of money to restore/maintain a machine like that. Unless it was sponsored by a major benefactor like the EAA or the Collings Foundation for example, I doubt we'd be able to pull it off

Well to buy, 750 shares at $1,000 each.
I suspect the annual operating/insurance would be a drain, but honestly I have no idea how much it would be.

And for any future treasure hunters, that is the proper way to post "Hey, look what I found...."
No BS there.

That airplane is still sitting there. The three owners live in Texas, and say the plane is not for sale.
The manager at Franklin Airport, in Franklin, Va. would like to see it removed, but the tie down fees
are paid yearly.
The cost of buying a warbird is only the first step in where the money goes. How about restoration ?
Continued maintenance ? Storage or hangar fees, and don't forget, fuel.... ? It could cost millions
to maintain.
Would you settle for a B-24 laying in the Lybian desert ???? [Photo courtesy of Roger Landry]

A little bit of paint and some duct tape and I bet she would fly just right.
