Wow! Very pretty, at least from the outside she looks brand new. Is the cabin restored or is that next phase? Shame she was not made flyable, but $$$$s talk!

They need a bit of dead weight up front with dummy engines

Glad to see she'll wear the TCA colors

So how do they fly her to Seattle?
Yeah take it all apart to truck, so what will that nice paint look like then?
I couldn't see the logic of having it worked on in NY when the Museum of Flight is in Seattel Wa. Kinda stupid I think.

Hopefully after making it look so nice they wont have it on display outside!

Untill they build a place for it, outside is where it will have to be.

Wow I can't believe how good it looks. I walked around it last winter when it was parked out side at Griffis and it looked pretty ruff.

Great set of pictures...and don't think I didn't notice the Herc in one of them!
