[QUOTE=Thunderbird167;2063492] The plane has a plaque on it indicating that the construction number is N1234, which would make it 42-39715. It is reported that the Chinese will sell the plane for 2 million dollars, but the wing spar is reportedly so corroded that the aircraft would collapse if moved. QUOTE]

Wing spar held up alright for its move into the new facility from its open air display obviously! Aircraft is P-61B-15 NO, 42-39715.
Plenty of reports that it had already been sold to Paul Allen over the past few years also.
