N43WT - This was taken a few minutes after the tail was cut off. It was extremely beat up on the other side and the tail had severe corrosion. The tail was cut up into many pieces to later be used to paint replica nose art on. - by Jason Barnett

N43WT - Here is a piece of nose art that I did for a guy that loved Star Wars. This piece was taken from the engine nacelle area of N43WT. Very few pieces of the fuselage, inner wings and engine nacelles were scrapped. Most will live on as art work. - by Jason Barnett

N43WT - Here the fuselage is after we got home from the car show in Austin TX. A few hours later it would be cut in half, in preparation for its new life as a display in FtWorth.
We had acquired several tickets from the police while towing it. - by Jason Barnett
