Hey Gang, I've be meaning to post these photo's. I took these in Brooklyn, IA almost two weeks ago at the Pilot Travel Center. The body is the only thing I got photo's of. The wings, and tall sections were on three other trucks on the other side of the truck stop.
Rumor has it this was heading west. Unable to get history on it either.







Enjoy.

I believe this is the aircraft in question:

Not what you get to see everyday at the truck stop!

Hey Ken,
I'm not sure that's the same bird. The paint looked to be original. Also, this looked to be a static piece. The link shows it in flight. I wish I had taken more photo's.

EDIT: My bad Ken, It's the same bird. Needed to scroll down and look at the trucks hauling her. Make you wonder if she'll be flying again.
