Even though, sad to hear of the Seattle incident on Alpha Golf and the FE's cap.

I am troubled into hearing that the aircraft will "probably" be stored outside on the parking lot adjacent to the B747 "001", Air Force one B707 and the American B727.
Can anyone clarify, is -AG going into undercover storage or just going to be left outside.
These aircraft have faded and detoriorated badly, like to ones on top of the Intrepid in NYC. The American B727 that was retired to Seattle has paint flaking and transfers coming off etc, the first B747 in preservation there looks really worse for wear, faded,jaded and in a sad state considering their place in aviation history.

What happened to that "web poll" then a few weeks ago to save Concorde?
This is all sad as the idea was to send Concorde to homes where the aircraft will be upkept and not left to decay...
