Sure hope so! What even more interesting is that there still remains a very large amount of wreckage from "LBG" stored in Libya..

That's interesting it was taken back to the US and registered. That's a very creepy plane.

Are you talking about this in particular?

"Parts of the plane were scavenged or returned to the United States for evaluation. A few aircraft with replacement parts from Lady Be Good later had inflight problems. A U.S. Army de Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter with an armrest from the bomber crashed in the Gulf of Sidra. Only a few traces of the plane washed ashore and one of these was the armrest from the Lady Be Good."

That and the fact everyone on it died a horrible death.

Still within the reasonable M2 price range.
