Restored 307 Stratoliner at Boeing Field
In 1994, Boeing made arrangements with the Smithsonian to restore the 307 Stratoliner, the Flying Cloud. A Boeing team flew the 64 year old airplane from the Arizona desert to Seattle, where the restoration was done in the original Plant II 307 production hangar. Although the airplane had been made temporarily flightworthy for the flight to Seattle, the task was immense. The paint was faded and peeling; the cabin was stripped of all but a makeshift lining; hoses and tires were cracked; cables were rusted, and rivets were missing. Dozens of Boeing employees, engineers, mechanics and aviation enthusiasts lavished thousands of hours on the Clipper Flying Cloud to return it to its pristine condition. In 2003 the fully restored Stratoliner was flown to its final resting home and is now on permanent display at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum annex near Dulles airport.
