That's one sweet looking ride! :-) But, what's it resting on, in the
pictures where it's on land? The rollers (or whatever) look so
insubstantial.

I just wish they'd ask around a bit before decommissioning old ones. Some of
us might find them handy.

Some interesting things in those pictures...

The barn she's coming out of is the facility formerly used to build
726's. Were all the 21's built there, or was just the Carter modified
there? (The LH barn is the one used for building 688's.)
