Where is Walt's plane? UPDATE - Coming to D23 2022

[Smiley/OCD]

Would you look at that.
The exact same wings. On the same exact trailer. Positioned the exact same way.

I'm glad I don't need to go to the eye doctor. Some might though.

That’s what I said…same small stripes on the engine cowlings…a VAST right and left wing conspiracy…growing up in NJ, usually “falling off a truck” has a whole different meaning…

Here's a few bits about what has been done in a new article from D23 -

"The newly repainted plane with updated wing edges and windows will be on view along with never-before-exhibited items from the aircraft’s interior, including a customized instrument panel originally located near Walt’s favorite onboard seat that allowed him to monitor flight conditions; a telephone handset that gave Walt a direct line of communication to the pilot in the cockpit; a flight bag featuring an image of Mickey Mouse sitting on the tail of the iconic plane; and more."

"Disney fans attending D23 Expo are invited to shop, browse, and play at Amazon’s immersive space on the showroom floor with in-person peeks at custom merchandise related Mickey Mouse One: Walt’s Plane."

I woud love to see this on disney+, the history of the plane, its life as a display, then its restoration (however slight that might be) then end with it being displayed at D23

I'd watch it. But that means it'll never happen. They can't highlight the old dead guy too much, people start expecting things to improve if they do.

And I know the perfect person, I mean expert, to give us the tour and narration…

C’mon man, don’t you remember those Guillow’s balsa wood planes with the rubber bands? Lol

That’s really stretching the definition of a turboprop.

California has an electricity shortage…they can’t run the freezer/refrigeration unit…

How can you be sure it isn't a decoy cranium?

How can you be sure it isn't a decoy cranium?

When you strap it to the truck should it be facing forward, or to the side?

Hard to tell, I hear they can do wonderful things at WDI....

Underrated comment. Snarky and yet so dead on accurate.

That's true, it could be animatronic.
