No, no, Nashville sounds pretty good to me... that's where I am! Better still, how's about we park it in one of my hayfields? I've got about 70 acres, c'mon!

It may not be Serenity, but that whitewashed hulk looks like she's just resting a bit.

Not quite ready to belong in a junkyard yet. We oughtta rescue her.

Well said. It is kinda sad just seeing it sitting there.

There wasn't any name on the fence anywhere that I could find... I'm going back up there friday for more pictures, I'll be checking again...

Somebody's gotta rescue it.

I just found the junkyard on Google Earth; pictures are fuzzy and I don't think they're recent enough to include the Ariel Aerial Ambulance.

Coordinates are: 35 hours, 2 minutes, 20.15 seconds N, 118 degrees, 7 minutes, 49.89 seconds W.

MAL: Is it bad that what she said made perfect sense to me?

Did anyone notice that it is missing the tail?

Scroll down to the pics. That is the ambulance the crew took from the junkyard and painted up. Looks like it ended up in an aircraft junkyard in the desert in California.

How shiny would it be if some Browncoat rescued this piece of Firefly history and it could be saved instead of left to rust.

I bet it is out in the Mojave Desert. There are several HUGE aircraft storage facilities out there. It is really wierd to see them from the highway. Things don't seem to rust in the Mojave Desert (must be the dry HOT climate). Alot of movie props can be found out there.

Remember what LOUIS VUITTON said: "It's in the bag!"

Dear Akin

As an idiot with more money than time, I would be very interested in buying it and bringing it back to my home in Las Vegas(not too far).

I would of course, invite interested Firefly fans over from time to time to see it if anyone is interested.

If you could keep me posted on what you find out, I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you

Peter

That is so cool.

Frankly, I think universal has the best chance of getting it out of there, as they are the only corporate entity who has reason to be interested in it.

However, barring that, we really need to find out who owns that junkyard. It'd be nice if it was free for the taking like in Ariel itself

Okay, so I just saw this as I was perusing for the evening and OMG I live like an hour away from that field. We drive by it every time we travel to San Diego (which hasn't been enough lately) so I might try to convince my husband to make a trip this weekend. I will let you guys know if I can get any information on it.

Isn't there this thing called Universal Studios? A theme park where they build rides for movies that get sequels? This would certainly be a nice touch to Serenity's cargo bay...
