Very nice!
We have an Aussie WW2 Hudson Bomber in the Canberra Airport.
Must take a photo when I next fly up to Queensland.
It is a very appropriate aircraft to display there considering the contribution made by the Dauntlesses at the Battle of Midway.
Still there, as far as I know. It was there when I went through some years ago (2013):
According to the plaque, the actual plane was fished out of Lake Michigan in the 90s; it was a lost in training off one of the two side-wheel training carriers during ww2

It was restored, and repainted to match O'Hare's plane. Not positioned best for photos, but a nice display nevertheless.

Here's a link : O'Hare Wildcat
Looks like it must be in an area I don't pass through on connecting flights.
