Boeing 727 Prototype Airplane

Restoration Team
and "Others"
 
Our Mission:  Fly the Boeing 727 Prototype Airplane - One More Time! 

It takes a lot of people to make this dream come true.
And - they're all Volunteers.  Hard work.  No pay.

There is usually someone working regularly on the airplane.  They are normally there Tuesdays through Thursdays, and frequently Fridays and Saturdays too (The Restoration Center is "officially" closed on Fridays, but is often open - no guarantee.)  Helpers are always welcome!   Directions:  Refer to Annex Page

   STEVE HUEMOELLER  -  Chief Mechanic - Emeritus
 

        

After more than a decade of hard work on this airplane, Steve has moved out of the area.  We miss his efforts and companionship, and will forever value his immense contributions.

Yes - that's Steve up on top of the stabilizer!

David is unique.  He's a senior executive at M.I.T.  and is in love with this airplane. He's only able to help out about once a year, often on his vacation.  Oh, did I say?  - David lives in Boston.
