Jack, is it the one being rebuilt in the Paine Field annex (used to be in a park at Whyte Center), or the one in gray USMC paint inside the Personal Courage Wing?

Thanks again,

It's one of the early Boeing buildings and it's been preserved as part of the museum.

Ah see?! Someplace that knows how to save and preserve original antique buildings that have to do with aviation! :roll: One day before the hangers crumble, maybe we can save a few bricks. :(

Thanks Jack...very cool photo indeed. I sure can't wait to see the Wildcat when fully restored and painted. I drop by now and then to see how they're doing, and they're making regular progress.
