You'll need deep pockets though.
In all fairness, I'm really hoping Allen's sister doesn't break up the Flying Heritage collection. I live just a few miles from there, and it's an outstanding aviation and combat armor museum. My understanding is that admission fees were covering the operating expenses (at least pre-COVID) so it doesn't really cost anything to keep that fantastic collection together. Unfinished projects - OK, you need someone with a lot of determination to see those through, but the existing displays don't take much effort to maintain.
