The Dive Bomber in the photo is not the exact machine thats for sale and is still available for sale. Its an identical ride and would be great to see it at the park if it was required.

Obviously someone should look into it, or talk them into donating it.

Looks like they've sunk some money into it, and the 1945 date of manufacture is a real plus.

The ride in question does need some cosmetic work doing to it but is in working condition. A clip of it being tested can be seen at
