This a/c I think is slated to be moved in the not too distant future...unless plans have changed. There are no wings to this bird and is basically a shell. They have started to build/reconstruct the horizontal stab and the vertical fin has been attached. What is interesting about the MAPS museum is the 3-4 P-39 airframes stored in the "yard". This place has come along way in 12 years and very little funding.
