Ever since it was handed over to the Pacific Aviation Museum in Hawaii, it has remained there. The museum has been vocal about its plans to restore the bomber into its original state and have it on display in Ford Island.
Ford Island is an islet just at the centre of Pearl Harbor. The cost for restoring the Swamp Ghost is estimated to be more than $5 million, but that is an acceptable figure considering it’s for the preservation of a national treasure with lots of history.
