Locked securely away along with many other Walt Disney items.
Hopefully they have "top men" working on it.

I believe that the real answer is.... Who Knows? My gut feeling is that it will turn up someplace. Even the Executives are not stupid enough to not realize how many people would riot if they did something nasty to it. Maybe they even might have donated it to the Air and Space Museum in DC as a national pride exhibit.

Archives seems to be the logical group to transfer it to, but it must still be in Florida. I can't imagine it's airworthy any longer so transporting her any long distance would likely be pretty cumbersome.

I think it will show up someplace at WDW after it has a bit of a refurb. It's very important to a lot of people.

I would love to see it in Disney Springs.

Make an announcement? Why should they start now when they can get all kinds of chatter by not saying anything and letting the rumors run wild? By the time the gloom folks get done, whatever they come up with always seems to be much better then expected.

I heard a rumor it ended up here...
OK, so I made up that rumor.
But, I too am curious what they have in store for it.
Someone in the Earffel Tower thread mentioned quite a while back that after they removed it from BLT they had changed it's paint scheme back to it's original white with orange and black trim...

Would love to see it displayed in the Front entrance of DHS position as it looks like it's taking off to the skies....

This is a pic, that I'm very familiar with, from it's final flight before it landed at the then existing airstrip on WDW property, and was eventually parked on the BLT.
It's definitely not airworthy now, but is definitely a piece of Disney history that, justifiably, needs to be preserved.
And yes, somewhere else on WDW property seems appropriate to me, too...!

Epcot would not be a bad place for it either.

Disneyavenue has a great amount of pictures including the interior of the plane before it was gutted. Including the pics when it landed on World Drive..http://www.disneyavenue.com/2015/09/walt-disneys-airplane.html

Yep, you are correct...it did indeed land on World Drive...I had forgotten. So cool!
I just hope they continue to do it justice.
Although, I realize this is not the Beechcraft Queen Air he originally decided on Florida from, it is the plane he selected the eventual site of all of WDW from...!

I can't imagine they would just get rid of it. I can't really see it fitting in EPCOT but would love to see it back at Hollywood Studios in some way.
