The owner of Evergreen (huge freight and aviation company) along with donations, completely rebuilt the aircraft and built a new museum for it and other aviation memorabilia. I saw the aircraft by special appointment while it was disassembled. If you are ever in the northwest, it is a must see.
That interesting craft you see there looks to be the nose of an old Boeing 707 or possible DC-8; somebody with an awful lot of disposable income.
