Horten H IX V3 Plan

The center section of the Horten H IX V3 jet fighter is scheduled to transfer from the Paul E Garber Facility to the Mary Baker Engen Restoration Center at the Udvar-Hazy Center in late 2012. This in-progress condition map shows the types and extent of damage currently seen on the metal components, which needed to be documented prior to the transfer.
