I just heard yesterday that someone was finally going to take the old bird and fix her up. I didn't get the details, and I wasn't even sure they could fly her out. But I'm glad to hear that she'll get fixed up in a new home where folks can see and appreciate her.
It just landed today at the Bridgewater airport in Virginia (KVBW) where the owner of Dynamic Aviation will restored this beautiful A/C. He plans are to display it at air shows.
I was the Design Engineer for the special Avionics Systems in "Ike's Bike" - as we affectionately called her. BTW I'll be turning 90 in May! Note to "KZ Bell" That's the forward part of the nose wheel well door - affixed to the NLG strut. Notice that the forward ends of the NLG doors are way aft of the forward end of the nose wheel well.
Angel, the caption box only accepts a maximum of four letters/numbers. So most likely when Zdenek entered VC121 in the caption box, only the first four letters/numbers were accepted. Thus, it came out "VC12." Makes no difference if it is right or not because if you click on the caption box, numerous pictures of this aircraft pop up.
