The restoration of this Wildcat appears to be almost finished. Hopefully she will soon be on display at the Museum of Flight at BFI.

I had photographed the Museum of Flight Restoration Center Comets cockpit four years before and thought it looked superb then. Now completely finished, however, it looks absolutely stunning

A good case can be argued that the Cutlass was the worst arcraft ever operated by the USN, mainly as it was woefully underpowered. Nonetheless it is great that this airframe, relegated to ground instructional duties in 1957, is being restored at the Museum of Flight Restoration center.

Seconds from touch down.

After time at the SST Aviation Exhibit Center in Florida, where it was allowed to fall into disrepair, it then moved to California and now to the Museum of Flight Restoration Center at PAE. Hopefully this important piece of Boeing heritage will soon go on permanent display at the Museum of Flight at BFI. This view shows the forward cockpit section with the cantilever mechanism responsible for drooping the nose.

A real bonus for me to see this beautiful, old plane parked outside the Restoration Center.
