The photos that I have seen are not ones that I permission to show, but one should show up soon enough. The fuselage sits just inside the hangar door.

What happened to the live stream webcams from Udvar? Are those not a thing anymore?

Glad to see it made the trip (mostly) safely. Unfortunately, it looks like it did incur some damage to the dorsal fin.

Here is a link to the Facebook photos: https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=nasm%20.

: The tail vertical surface was taken off prior to transport. I think the museum staff is well aware of the Arado 196 that lost its upper portions to a bridge during transport to Pensacola (that aircraft is now being restored in Germany).

: Those have not been available for quite some time. I much miss the cam that there used to be at Garber while aircraft were being prepared for UH.

I keep an eye out for UH Restoration pictures from Flickr. It appears that many people take a lot of pictures from the main hangar, but apparently do not appreciate that there are overlooks above the restoration floor.

Currently in the restoration area are the Flak-Bait, Lincoln-Standard, Ilyushkin 2M (earlier version, with 9 degrees swept wings rather than the 15 degree sweep of the 2M3) and F-86F, the latter just accessioned for the Modern Military Aviation gallery at the Mall museum.

I hear that the next restoration may be the Sikorsky JRS-1.
