Photo Comment

The DC-7B is being disassembled adjacent to Marine Air Terminal. It was sold to an audio company and moved to a shopping mall parking lot in Hicksville, NY where it was partially reassembled and painted black. "Fly By Nite Audio" titles were added and stairs were positioned at the front and back doors to allow customers to walk through. The store went out of business shortly afterwards and the aircraft was scrapped on site.
