Some video footage about the Lufthansa DLBS L-1649A Starliner project now well under way at Lewiston Airport near Auburn Maine. --Be sure to zoom in on the map in satellite picture mode to see the aircraft before they were towed.--This was the roll-in to the purpose-built hanger at the airport in Lewiston.
See more about the project here.

I have always love the graceful lines of this aircraft and would often stop by the airport while traveling on business in Maine to take a look at them. I stopped by the Auburn Airport in May of 2008 and the Lufthansa technicians were there inspecting the plane. they were kind enough to let my sons, myself and my dad board her. Being aviation enthusiasts, this was a real treat for us. I hope to see lots of videos of the projects progression and eventual completion.
Thank you,
Steve

A thousand mile journey begins with one step. May your (Starliner) restoration go flawlessly and then Happy Landings! enroute to your eventual new home in Germany.
