Lots of cool stuff, John! When's that Cathay Pacific bird going to be on display?

Lots of cool stuff, John! When's that Cathay Pacific bird going to be on display?

That's hard to say, Brian.  Unfortunately, the best answer right now is that it will be able to go out once Cathay Pacific is totally done with the airframe.

Here are a couple of recent developments.  The Ohka is finally out and the CH-46 is still moving along:

I figured as much. Thought it was kind of strange that it landed and was immediately brought to you. What are they doing with it?

[John B.]

The CH-46 is closer to being done...  Still a few things to do and then it will roll out for display.
