The 'rolling BONE' transported by road to KBFI last year is @ Boeings Tukwila structural facility (a rock toss from MoF) in a structural test jig trying to figure out how to keep them in service into 2040.

I was the responsible assembly team leader at Martin Marietta building the horizontals, verticals, and mode control vane and know for a fact that there are no spares of these assemblies and they are to complex to build without the tooling that was scrapped at the end of the program.
