No, in Florida I think.. Once part of the Evergreen Museum. Part of the deal to buy a number of their birds. B-17, P-38, Neuiport 28 ,etc. They bought it before 909's crash as a replacement for the planned retirement of Mac's ride. It's going to be a flyer.

Channel surfing.

Landed on a "B" movie called flying WW2.

Plot has a 757 flying through a storm and emerging in the middle of the night during a WW2 air battle.
the 757 is then buzzed by Me 262's.
Cuts to inside the cabin and two history geeks are reading a book on WW2 aircraft, they point to a pic of a Ju 87 then inform the captain they saw He111's being escorted by Ju88's !

They then say the 757 has emerged over a Luftwaffe air raid on St Nazaire in 1940.

it is then engaged in a furious dog fight with 4 Me 262's.

It must be true - it's in a movie ..........................
Tried watching a similar cr@p movie on Prime over Christmas.
A group of GI's, in Normandy - armed with an assortment of 'civvy' weapons, including a Winchester - repeated firing without once cocking the weapons, plastic helmets from a toy store, mixed personal equipment and atrocious field craft.
Gave up when a German sniper opened up with a fully automatic bolt action hunting rifle, and he was dressed in a mix of black SS and Panzer uniform, sitting in full view on a tree branch !
