The Horten Ho229 is now on the display floor at NASM Udvar-Hazy Museum. The aircraft does not have the wings on, but they are on a cradle next to the main fuselage. The aircraft has been 'preserved' to a state so corrosion and deterioration have been suspended. It has been placed next to the He219, itself apart, with fuselage, wing, and engines separate, but all viewable.

Dear Der Crew Chief,
I've been a volunteer at Udvar-Hazy since it opened and am there multiple times a week. I am attaching a cell phone image and you can see the location, with the tip of He219 wing in the foreground. This was last week when they had just moved it to the spot.
I've had the opportunities to work in the restoration area and have seen and worked on some rare artifacts.

Thank you, I stand corrected. I am glad they have it out on the floor now. Gives me another reason to get back out there to the museum.
I am also jealous that you get to help with the restorations. I would love to get involved with that.
Are the wings put on the 219 now as well?
