The possibility of a flying Dragon is now. The beginning of the thread talks about her flying just last week. Somewhere there was a video of the flight posted, but I can't remember where on Facebook it was.

The vid is on the 1st page, about the 6th post. I meant regular flying beyond hops. I assume N747M was flown down to Muszala's and yes N777LW flew last week but how soon and for how long before this becomes a long overdue habit?. pop2

747M was torn into pretty good when the restoration was started at Sanders. I have no knowledge of why it was pulled from there and sent to Muszala, but it definitely didn't fly down to Arizona. If they were going to put it back together to fly to Muszala it would've made sense to just finish it at Sanders.

I think when it is finally finished, not only will it be gorgeous (so far, Jim Slattery doesn't own anything that isn't), but you'll also see it pretty active.

Thanks for the correction about 747M's non-flight to Marana...even bad news is news. There was some photos of her while she was at Sanders but the link is dead and Sanders hasn't archived any when I checked their site. That leaves 777LW and waiting to see what her next move is...
