I saw her about two/two and a half weeks ago, and she looked great. It looked like alot/most of the fuselage was done, and they had brought one of the wings into the shop and put it in the jig. Too bad she won't be a flyer.

Here's a few pics (click for larger):

Sorry about the somewhat poor quality of the first two pictures, my camera kinda sucks.

The fuselage is nearly complete. Here's a couple I took a couple of weeks ago.

Saabmeister- How did you like the museum? Do you remember who your tour guide was?

CorsairFreak- I absolutely loved the museum. Definitely one of the best ones out of the 11 I visited on my trip. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of my tour guide. I was the first visitor there on a Tuesday morning, my guide was a guy, I think he was in his sixties, who was retired from Goodyear and was an overseas sales representative for them. He was an excellent guide.
