Add the 50 years of aging to it, you can imagine the condition. I honestly was in “shock” when I saw it. The historical significance of what I was looking at still gives me chills to this day.
I never found out what happened to it but I was comforted to know the Chino Planes of Fame restoration facility was a few miles away. I was just telling a coworker about that day.
