Mostly; it was cut up to move it and later reassembled (and patched together). Photos by Leon Cleaver (Woodsy Airfield):

It is still there as far as I know. I have more pictures of it and its history if interested.
The Travis AFB Museum was interested in obtaining it at one time, but priorities have changed.
I would still like to see it saved.
