So that's where some of the Littlefield Collection ended up!

Chuck,
That's where most of it ended up, including the Panther. The ones they didn't want they sold off to pay for transporting the rest across the US.

I'm not sure if they got the Panzer IV or if Paul Allen got it.

I was fortunate enough to get a tour before they closed up.

Paul Allen collects tanks? Does he display them or private only?

These folks are located in my old home state of Massachusetts. The Collings Foundation also has a quite respectable warbird collection.

Paul Allen's collection is at the Flying Heritage Museum in Everett Washington. Our local group gets to have games on some of the fly in days.

The coolest part is if it is complete is works! So they fly a pair of aircraft on most weekends during the summer, and then take the armor out to play in the dirt on the big weekend events. The local collectors also bring their vehicles. Quite a sight.
