It was hoisted up, model-airplane style, to the rafters of the Garber Facility, the Smithsonian's aircraft restoration and storage facility. In the year 2000, they did the EOC the honor of lowering it down for us when they gave us tours during the convention at College Park, MD. It was even more cool than the rest of the fighters and space capsules! It's nice to know that it will now take its place in the eyes of the public.
