The first photo shows them both. MH-53M and Jet Provost. Both are basically complete inside and out. The Pave Low needs to be sealed, people proofed and have the rotor blades put back on and it will be ready for display. The JP needs to be put back together and get repainted then it'll go out too.

So the Jet Provost made the journey ok. It was slowly rotting at West Texas and the move to Pima is a good deal. Too bad the Varsity is such a mess, it appears that it will be scrapped.
There is a JP doing a slow rot at the airport in Griffin, GA anyone wanna see a picture?

Thanks for keeping up uptodate James. I was just looking over the museum's restoration page. Of all the restorations taking place which do you expect will be the next one to be finished?

Probably the Tornado with the F-4E and the P-51 in a race for second.

I would love the antennas off of the nose of that varsity before it is scrapped!
