Does anyone have information on where the 2009 NorthropGrumman built replica of the Horten Ho229 flying wing jet went after completing the Mike Jorgensens documentary for National Geographic Channel on the stealth capabilities of this design? I think it was built without landing gear or interior details, and had fibreglass castings of the engines compressorblades. Still it would be interesting to know where it can be seen today? It was built in a professional industry modelshop in El Segundo, weighing 3000 pounds..

Thanks Chaps,
Been there in the nineties, nice museum and art deco surroundings. Found some pics of the replica on this location in the mean time.

It was certainly in the San Diego museum last year when I visited it, displayed in the space vacated by the P-40E that went to the Ford Island museum at Pearl Harbor.

Hi, it went to the San Diego Air and Space Museum (according to Wikipedia, anyway)
