Historic Douglas A-1 Skyraider Lifted to Intrepid Aircraft Carrier Museum
By Andrew Burton (GETTY) – 23 hours ago
NEW YORK, NY - MAY 20: A Douglas A-1 Skyraider is moved onto the flight deck of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum by crane on May 20, 2014 in New York City. The plane served as a single-seat attack aircraft by the U.S. military from 1946 to 1985. This specific plane is named the XBT2D-1 and was transported in pieces from the Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia and reassembled on site. (Photo by Andrew Burton/Getty Images)

Not indoors, but better than being off-limits on a naval base, and she'll get more TLC this way, so I'd say it's a good move all around. Especially for an airframe as rare as this one.
