CasualObserver 3,408 #4 Posted March 19, 2010 They actually have two RJ-58s restored by Tim. This is a snippet from an email I got from Todd Stockwell, the curator of the Ag, Industry and Technology Dept of the museum several years back while researching some things. We have only two Wheel Horse artifacts in our collection at present - two virtually identical restored RJ-58s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
