Stratoliner to fly again
The Boeing Company announced today it will repair the 307 Stratoliner airplane that crashed into Elliott Bay off West Seattle to the condition it was in when the initial restoration was completed by employees and volunteers last year. The repair team has determined there is only secondary structural damage to the airplane. The 307 has been part of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum collection since 1972 and is slated for display at the museum's new companion facility, the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, in Northern Virginia. The repair effort involves cleaning, repairing and reinstalling parts. Boeing will supply the appropriate resources to accomplish the task in the summer of 2003, which is when the company originally planned to deliver the airplane to the Udvar-Hazy Center.
