The reason that P-38 was there for so long is that it was on either Kiska, or Attu Island. Both belong to the Aleutian chain and were occupied by the Japanese military for a while. Both islands are very remote and owned by the gov/mil. Also, I prefer a static display as it is a shame to restore them to flying condition and then have them crash. Look how many warbirds each year crash. What a waste. Danny
