Presidential DC-6 Closed for Maintenance

摘要

The National Museum of the USAF in Dayton, Ohio, has closed Douglas VC-118 The Independence, while it carries out work on the aircraft's interior. The project is likely to take around three months and will reinforce the aircraft floors in preparation for increased numbers of visitors when the exhibit is transferred to the museum's new fourth building. During this time, visitors to the Presidential Gallery will still be able to view the exterior of The Independence, as well as walk through three other presidential aircraft, the VC-54C Sacred Cow (an adapted Douglas C-54 Skymaster), the VC-121E Columbine Ⅲ (Lockheed C-121 Constellation) and VC-137 SAM 26000 (Boeing 707).
