Probably no buyer seeing as how WM is out, TRU has yet to take on the bigger box AC, and small retailers still have shelves full of BH & Flight 19 Avengers.

I haven't heard anything on the Bush avenger, but I do know that the Bunker Hill avenger finally came to be. So keep the faith and hopefuly it will become reality.

I did not pick up an Atlantic version waiting on this one (do not want to justify one, let alone two!)
If they do not sell, I would imagine the Bush Library in College Station would do some brisk business with them as they have a 1:1 replica hanging from the ceiling.

It's sitting on an imaginary shelf somewhere with the Mig Mad Mavis F-86 and the Pappy Boyington F4U Legends edition...

I think Aerosmith has a song about this topic - "Dream On"

We may need to post a picture or something so all those members who have joined since 2005 know what we are referring to...

"Are we ever going to get the Bush Avenger?"
Methinks the correct answer to this question is: right after McCain's A-4.

After this long without the Bush Avenger showing or 21st having the decency to at least update us on it one way or another, I have just added it to the list of 21st empty promises. It would be nice to see it released, however a custom painted may well be the only way you see one in my opinion.....
Besides if 21st did finally release this version,
I am sure I would have to get the great fella's at Vexillarius Decals to make me a "Barbara II" decal to cover the "Betty II" 21st would release it with.
Thats just my opinion, of course I could be wrong.

Not that I would buy it just because it's Bush's Avenger, but it sure would be nice to get an Avenger in that camo sceme. Much like the Atlantic version, in tri-color and the lighter underbelly colors going farther up the sides on the fuselage, only in blues.
The Bunker Hill is cool, but it isn't quite what the typical Pacific Avenger looks like.
