Just kind of wondering if they are still sitting there and what condition they were/are in.

Slowly rotting into the dirt. They did run the engines for a while after they arrived, but stopped doing that a few years back. I just hope someone saves the cockpits when they chop them up (as happened with the same owner's Fairchild Packet a number of years ago)

They are both suffering main spar corrosion on the spar caps in the wing centre section beneath the emergency exits. This is the death knell of many C-54's and certainly the death of those two.
