I finaly saw White Lightning today. It's still at Stinson Field (but in a different hanger) here in San Antonio and needs LOTS of work IMO. The bottom of the plane is pretty torn up. Still, it looks like there's plenty left there to hope that someday it will fly again. Here's some links to a few pictures I took this afternoon:

I'm sorry about the quality of the pictures, but the hanger was pretty dark and the batteries on the digital camera were getting rather low. Also there is limited space around the aircraft as the booms and other parts are in crates and around the aircraft.
The hanger is part of the Texas Air Museum (www.texasairmuseum.org).
