Craig, from everything I've read recently, the new museum group taking
over from AHA has now got the political wheels properly greased to
keep the plane in Fort Worth, under a real roof, not an open-air
canopy.

It's a matter of coming up with the cash to break ground. Last I
heard they were about halfway there.

As I understand, the site is right near the gate of the Lockheed plant
at NAs Fort Worth, formerly Carswell AFB.

I would seriously doubt that location, as the aircraft sat there for
over ten years with us trying to get a building built on the same
location. The original commitment was for a location at Alliance. Then
politics took over and it changed to DFW and then to Love and back and
forth a couple of times. There were proposals to use the old Globe
plant in Blue Mound, but cost and the Army ended up killing that one
off.

You can figure that until someone or some company with the resources
and the balls to overrun the politcs comes into the picture and lays
the cash on the table, the a/c won't get reassembled in the DFW area.
