HI WHAT A MASSIVE EFFORT!! MY HATS OFF TO THE MUSEUM AND CREW MOVING HER. AS FAR AS FLYING IT OUT WHEN I LOOKED AT IT A FEW YEARS AGO THE HOLLOW PROP BLADES WERE RUSTED OUT ON THE TIPS OF ALL THE LOWER BLADES,MOST OF THE MAGNESEUM ENGINE COWLINGS WERE GETTING VERY CORRODED WITH LARGE HOLES IN THEM.A FAMILY OF ILLEGAL ALIENS WERE LIVING IN THE FUSALAGE .THE COCKPIT WAS GUTTED,NOSE AND TAIL DAMAGE FROM A STORM THAT SMASHED A LARGE ROAD SIGN INTO IT,ECT.FLYING WAS NO LONGER POSSIBLE.IM THANKFUL THAT ITS GOING TO WERE IT BELONGS, TO BE PRESEVED FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS RATHER THAN BEING SCRAPED LIKE SO MANY OTHERS.TIME WAS RUNNING OUT FOR HER AND THE MUSEUM STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE!!IT WILL TAKE LOTS OF HARD WORK JUST TO MOVE IT LET ALONE THE RESTORATION EFFORT,BUT I FOR ONE CANT WAIT TO SEE IT ON DISPLAY!! THANKS MIKE
