That's great news. I hope they got some good photo's of her fully assembled/complete inside the hangar as the hangar provides an interesting setting itself...

There are not enough superlatives to express the awesomeness of this achievement. I cannot wait to see "Doc" back in her element.

Phenomenal job! Anyone have any idea how much more work needs to be done on her?

Looks like the center section of the fuselage still needs to be polished.

Magnificent. The yard-wide grin on Tony's face says it all!
(So when do we finally get to see the original images of Doc with the rest of the Seven Dwarves?)
