They do a complete refurb on the planes. They bought the replacement in 2015 and started the process. So they will spend 6 years or so to go through it.
They are due to have a stop at my town this year and I will be on the B25 if they show up. That will give me a trifecta with riding the B24, B25, and the crashed B17. Hell, I might even drop the 2400 to fly in the P51 for 30 minutes.
It is not often one can have a ride back in history. I won't miss the chance.
