Only a "One time ferry flight" For a good reason

E1 (N7001U) needs to be ferried from the restoration facility at KPAE, to KBFI for the MoF for permanent display. It was less expensive and easier, with the local roads and bridges involved, to do a one time ferry flight (in a specific limited ferry configuration) than it was to disassemble and truck it, and then re-assemble it at BFI. Flying it any more extensively than this one time very short duration limited ferry flight would have necessitated a much more extensive renovation.
