Spotter's notes
One of the more prominent aircraft exhibits in Los Angeles. If memory serves, she was placed in Exposition Park for the 1984 Olympics (I could be wrong). She originally sat on her landing gear, but sometime between then and now her gear was retracted and she was propped up on stilts.
