Never seen a Mallard up close, but I'm almost positive it would be too tall to fit in the restoration hangar. Like John says, it's probably sitting on the ramp outside the "Old" building. When Fifi and The Aircraft Formerly Known As Diamond Lil were there a couple of years ago, you couldn't see either one from the road.

I learned this weekend that the Mallard is at Duncan having fluids drained, etc. I believe the plan is to have the aircraft displayed in the new building (main campus) when that work is finished.

Great!
Yet another flying airplane locked in a building to gather dust.


You could always whip out a few million and get another one dug out of the dust...I'm sure all of our long grey beards would nod in approval at something like that happening.
