This is consistent with the aerial pictures posted in October showing the plane unwrapped.

Trust me -- they're not going to reno the interior sitting out in the Florida sun like that. The inside of that plane will hit 150 degrees, easily.

Aerial photo of the plane Walt Disney flew in to survey land bought to build Walt Disney World. As seen today. In storage North of Animal Kingdom.

And it's still there right where they put it in the dead of night. The chances are good that a whole lot of people saw them move it. We knew where it was and when it was moved very shortly after they moved it. It didn't get to this spot right away, it was put someplace (hanger) to remove the DHS wrap putting it back to the original colors.
The fence is new...
They're trying really hard to keep that plane from escaping!

Fence has been there a while. It was put up when the video surfaced of the urban explorer inside the plane.

Yeah, I thought that was in response to his vid. Do you remember if it had been painted at that point?

Sadly this would probably sell out every time.

Only if I can show Bob the excellent view from the open door......
It took quite some time before someone found the plane in that spiot. My point was nobody outside TDO ever saw the actual move of the plane from DHS to that spot 4 years ago (or however long ago that was).@bioreconstruct

The plane isn't there on the March 2016 satellite.
The plane is there on the April 2017 satellite.
Now, on the March '16 satellite, the plane is in DHS, but on the April '17 image, it's not! Coincidence?!?!?
They'd better get it on a truck pretty soon...

Walt had more than one plane, why does every one think that is the one they are thinking of using. I thought I read someplace that the one that was in DHS was used by Walt, but not to find the spot but for subsequent trips to the area and the New York Worlds Fair.
FL Turnpike to I-10 West all the way to CA. Look for “Wide Load” and safety vehicles front and back of load driving the speed limit and taking up 2 driving lanes at the very least.

Likely would be two trucks, one with body of the plane and another carrying the wings. just look for a plane fuselage shaped tarp heading west and that should be it. I hope they do find a use for it other than holding down the dirt. It is nothing but an empty shell and I'm sure the still working engines were sold for a tidy sum before it ever was placed in DHS.

Probably because the announcement literally says it will be this plane?
There was a rather long landing strip across the boat canal near the Contemporary. Years ago you could see quite a few corporate type jets parked there. It paralleled the monorail and ended by the road to FW. It’s long gone now and seems to be used for construction storage. I also believe it may have been a bus driver training area at one time.
