Ailerons and the No.4 engine have been removed for refurbishment. SCFA ceased restoration of this aircraft when it became obvious that a post-9/11 FAA wasn't going to allow a standard airworthiness certificate to be assigned to the aircraft. Currently (January 2018) stored disassembled at Dynamic Aviation headquarters in Bridgewater, VA.

Look at the damaged left wingtip. This occurred in January 2002 when sister-ship N67062 was being readied for a ferry flight to the March AFB Museum in Riverside, CA. One of N67062's main gear had sunk into the dirt and full power was applied to extract the aircraft. As the aircraft came out of the hole, the brakes malfunctioned and the No.4 prop sliced through the wingtip of N67040. The prop was changed and the ferry flight proceeded!

Beautiful restoration. Patiently awaiting replacement of No.4 engine before undertaking the flight across Atlantic to The Netherlands, which was successfully completed in September 2002. Aircraft currently (January 2018) on static display at the Dutch Aviodrome in Lelystad.

The early morning lighting definitely enhances the beauty of the this airplane. She is being readied for the day's activities which were curtailed prematurely after the No.1 engine failure. I wrote about my experiences that day in Propliner issue 70.

This is the result of a cylinder letting loose on a radial engine. It happened at the worst possible time on one of Avra Valley's relatively 'short' runways. The No.2 engine had been throttled back to simulate an engine failure. As we rotated after a 'touch and go' landing, the No.1 engine failed and, momentarily, both engines on the left side were producing little or no power. Captain Frank Lang brought the aircraft under control and we returned to Avra Valley Airport for a safe landing.

Birds-eye view taken by a very nervous photographer! A group of enthusiasts met at Avra Valley to celebrate this grand old lady's 49th birthday. On September 28, 1953 she was delivered to the US Navy. Note all the Constellation spare parts that have accumulated over the years.

SCFA abandoned the restoration of N105CF when it was determined that the post-9/11 FAA wouldn't approve a standard airworthiness certificate for the aircraft. It was stripped by parts by SCFA and HARS before being acquired by Dynamic Aviation who disassembled and moved the aircraft to company headquarters in Bridgewater, VA.
