    Bill Swan comments (31 March 2012): Just saw this plane at exit 35 on Interstate 39 outside of Wenona, IL. This used to be at a different location in town. I remember stopping there in the late 80s before I-39 was built and the plane was in rough shape then. No idea when it was moved to a Super 8 parking lot (where it is now).
