Is there any really up-to-date info about the Tu-144 airframes 77114 and 77115, which are reputed to have been saved from the scrapman and both due to become museum exhibits in Moscow?
This is from a Tu-144 site, May 2006.

'115 looks a bit of a mess externally, but nothing that a good clean and repaint couldn't solve. Also the interior still looks quite good.
'114 (the "NASA" Tu-144LL) seems to have been stripped out, mostly.
Any up-to-date info (end 2006 and early 2007) gratefully received!
