Fate of Evergreen Museum, Spruce Goose in doubt - update

[Pilawt]

Despite Del Smith's assurances, Evergreen Museum appears to be in serious trouble. Creditors are after the Spruce Goose, and the restored TBM and the Ford Tri-Motor, collateral on a loan that went bad, are on the block as well.

Guess I better make another visit before they cook the Goose or burn the Spruce as firewood.

In the mean time, sounds like title to it is muddied and it would be a legal tussle to extract it from the museum - nevermind the cost of dismantling it and moving it someplace else.
