Boy I could spend a couple days in that place. How did you get access?

Is Fertile Mrytle a complete airframe? I know that question has been discussed recently but did not see a definitive answer.

In 1979 Art Stagg and I were to fly Fertile Myrtle to George AFB for the air show, but canceled do to WX, a big regret in life that I didn't get to fly her.

I do not. I did not make it to the restoration hangar. My crew was ready to go before the next scheduled Restoration Hangar Tour... :(
