Don't know if this would help for parts (like original windows?), but '095's sister ship, 41-20092, is listed on Baugher as N2647, "derelict in San Juan, PR, 2004." ATDB lists it as "part-out" with Tolair and deregistered in 2012. Wonder if it's still there?

As of now, the last I had talked with Jason it was going to Washington County KAFJ, which is just on the other side of Pittsburgh Intl's Bravo (38nm) from Beaver county where we have Luck of the Irish.

Washington is also where the Berlin Airlift keeps their C-54 during the summer months when it's not actively out touring and is in the local area.

Thanks Tyler! Might have to take a trip down there. Had no idea the C-54 was based there!
Actually went to visit Luck of the Irish today. Looks great! Can't wait to see that old girl fly over my house! Really looking forward to the day my kids are old enough that I can volunteer over there again as well.
