I took these photos in 2013.

 

By the time their restoration is done, it will be in factory condition. They just need to put a few things back together.

I did not notice this until after I posted it, but if you open up the photo gallery section of the article, the black and white photo is of the same aircraft! The caption reads: Two battle staff members remove classified material from a Looking Glass plane following a flight in 1981, the airborne command post’s 20th year of round-the-clock operation. (Photo credit World-Herald)

 

Check out the flight jackets, especially the one with the fur collar.
