Hi Guys,,

.......................to that DC-7B that got ferried out of St.Paul Downtown Airport a few years ago. I heard that because she retained her original interior she was gonna be restored after being ground bound for so long. I heard she went to Fla. to get restored.

Anyone heard of any news on this one of late ?

Sorry, I meant the site was having problems, not the owners. As far as I can tell the company is doing fine and the restoration is on schedule.

About thirty years ago I helped change a nose wheel steering cable on her up in St. Paul. It's nice to see her restored. Walking in her was like a time warp/twilight zone episode. It looked as though she as ready for passengers.
