Just uploaded to Airliners today:

http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Ai ... 49af1b9308

Not perfect condition, but much, much better than rotting outdoors, for sure. Can't see much of the canopy, but from what is visible it looks to have been replaced (or removed, hard to say).

That is great news. It is out of the elements! Looks like a nice new museum building too.

The rivet counters ain't gonna like those markings! Poor old bird, she sure looks sad despite the fresh paint. Would love to see if anything remains on her interior, but imagine that was all stripped out for study. At least she's no longer outdoors.
