A lot of interesting info. in this newspaper report. Not sure how close Scorpion is to the action, but the betting is that only N7316C will migrate eastwards.

Lets just say I’m rather close tot he action;) 😀 , As for 16Charlie, let me explain how bad she is if you go back up and look at the photos I posted, Charlie is the one with out the Left Side Engines, also the whole cockpit are has been stripped as has the FE station. Charlie also might have a spar crack also Hotel does that I know since I was the one who discovered it on a inspection some 10 Years ago we never really looked at Charlie because we were decide that 74R would be the best Flying aircraft.

I’m not sure what the new owners are going to do, other then get one flying. I’m happy to hear that they are going to rebuild it in Auburn its a very fitting to all of us who have been around them for the past 20+ Years. While I don’t live in Maine anymore I do get back up there at least once a month. I plan on stopping by when they get the Hanger build.

Richard thanks for the photo of 74R in Sanford the paint scheme at the time was the Old Cargo Colors she had on. If you noted #2 is feather and the big Buffalo looking thing was either the Old Start Cart or the Fuel Car. If the photo is from Feb, of 93 then we were doing some maintance on her. The reason we ended up in Sanford was because we had a runway on #2 and and right side Bus Fire in the cockpit.

As for the Scheme on it now it was what it had on it towards the end of its Days with Lufthansa.
