I am not 100% sure, but I believe that there was a thread with photos, within the last couple of years.
Use the search function and you might find what you seek.
Good luck!

I've got a sales flyer for this aircraft. Hughes Company imprinted folder, 8X10 color transparencies and a letter from Glen Odekirk. Neat to see the couches and think that Katherine Hepburn's naked bum was probably on them (back when anyone was interested in Kate's bum naked or otherwise)

Been too long, next time I'm out that way I'll drop in and see what I can see. Will be sure to report back.

Below: Murphy's 7th Law: Everything looks better from a distance. Seems there's a bit of possibly ominous looking corrosion along the keel.

Nice pictures! The S-43 is the best looking amphibian.

It's great to see one of the lesser photographed aircraft in the Smithsonian collection. Can't wait to see more progress on its restoration.

Does anyone know how the Smithsonian intends to paint its JRS-1?
