Pat,

Thanks for posting it .... I hadn't checked the museum site ..... busy embroidering a Reaper test design for a hat.

The Reaper is sitting on the floor in the Modern Flight Gallery in front of the C-124 (Old Shakey) ... It is most impressive as I was volunteering on Friday AM and able to get up really close.

It appears it will stay on the ground till after the Dedication on Monday evening and will then be hung on Tuesday Morning in place of the Reaper which will be moved to the Cold War Gallery.

I did these in youth sizes and personalize the hat back
