Nothing at the Patton museum would be of real value, outside an exemplar or two of stuff still in the inventory that 194th probably took with them when they left the area. All the vintage and foreign stuff would be maintenance deadlined within 100 miles or a couple months. It's value would be some impressive pill boxes and that's about it.

Ah, but they
do have a pretty well-equipped machine shop for restoration and repair of the working models - that'd have some value to one side or the other (an AFV repair shop, that is).

AMARC may be in Mexican hands. In any case post TDM I don't think the distribution network to get parts and qualified maintainers married up with lower cost airframes is available, which is a bigger show stopper (or a deal breaker) before the fuel crunch enters the equation.

Oh I'm not suggesting it'd be a day at the aircraft mall or anything, just that it'd be a long-term asset worth grabbing, (or grabbing
back as the case may be).
...which also leaves me wondering what shape Mexican oil production is in.
