That's great news. I hope they got some good photo's of her fully assembled/complete inside the hangar as the hangar provides an interesting setting itself...

There are not enough superlatives to express the awesomeness of this achievement. I cannot wait to see "Doc" back in her element.

Looks like the center section of the fuselage still needs to be polished.
