The photos that I have seen are not ones that I permission to show, but one should show up soon enough. The fuselage sits just inside the hangar door.

Bummer. About the no pics, at least.

What happened to the live stream webcams from Udvar? Are those not a thing anymore?

Glad to see it made the trip (mostly) safely. Unfortunately, it looks like it did incur some damage to the dorsal fin.

: The tail vertical surface was taken off prior to transport. I think the museum staff is well aware of the Arado 196 that lost its upper portions to a bridge during transport to Pensacola (that aircraft is now being restored in Germany).

Warbird Kid asked:

: Those have not been available for quite some time. I much miss the cam that there used to be at Garber while aircraft were being prepared for UH.

I keep an eye out for UH Restoration pictures from Flickr. It appears that many people take a lot of pictures from the main hangar, but apparently do not appreciate that there are overlooks above the restoration floor.

Currently in the restoration area are the Flak-Bait, Lincoln-Standard, Ilyushkin 2M (earlier version, with 9 degrees swept wings rather than the 15 degree sweep of the 2M3) and F-86F, the latter just accessioned for the Modern Military Aviation gallery at the Mall museum.

I hear that the next restoration may be the Sikorsky JRS-1.
