I didn't find out about this until about two hours before she was due to arrive, but somehow managed to pull things together and get over to TEB for some photos of her. Spent most of Thurs. afternoon and Friday taking pictures of this beautiful aircraft. Enjoy ...

She is absolutely gorgeous and spotless. You'd never believe spending 50+ years buried under 200+ feet of ice would preserve you so good :D That and the 7 million restoration cost.

These were all taken on Thursday. I'll try and post a few more tomorrow that were taken on Friday when Glacier Girl was out of the hangar.
Enjoy.
