While I would like to see a K36 and a K37 cosmetically restored and placed in an indoor museum, I realize that all takes cubic dollar$, which is not currently available. Last fall we bounced around the idea of having a museum, and I am sure the long range planners made note of those ideas. As for building replicas, I don't expect it to happen. At a price of $1 million each, who can afford them? But it is a nice pipe dream, I agree.
