I think this is it here... http://tinyurl.com/782vc
I looked it up a few days ago, but I wasn't going to post the link until I verified the location... I thought it was farther out than that, but I will confirm it on friday...

This is so SHINY! You are the second Nashville Browncoat I've "met" through this thread. I've wondered where all the Nashville Browncoats have been hiding. What part of Nashville are you in? I'm in Dickson. I work with a Browncoat and we're planning on seeing Serenity together. Would you be interested in joining us?
What's even shinier is that Browncoat named Peter who says he has lots of money and is willing to purchase the Ariel Ambulance. Let's hope it happens!

Welcome to the board Akin! Glad to have you w/ us.
Thanks for finding the Ariel Ambulance. Let us know what you find out about the yard. Maybe if you are able you can get some kind of phone # or something. I would gladly make some calls & do some fact finding.

I did notice that, yes. I also noticed by blowing up the pics that the glass & wings have been removed and it appears to be gutted.
Doesn't matter though. Surely if we rescue it we can fashion the missing parts for it.

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
A very generous offer Peter, and I am sure I can safely say I speak for the fanbase when I say that we would all appreciate your offer to rescue this gem.
Keep Flyin'!

Universal Studios Florida has the Time Train from BttF III outside the Back to the Future ride. Why can't some future Serenity ride not have the ambulance (and maybe the new hover-mule) sitting outside for photo-ops before we reach the "hangar" for our own Serenity trip?
In fact, make it a detail: the "ride" is Mal's latest scheme, but they've had to remove the mule to make room (you passed it on your way in), and there's an ambulance standing by in case of things going not smooth.

I think if Universal isn't interested for a theme park thing, then fixing her up and taking her to conventions would be a great idea. I'd pay a bit to have my picture taken in that. $5 -$10 prints * millions of fans = you might make that money back.
Wish I had more money than time.

After some searching on the Internet, I think this Firefly prop is owned by Doug Scroggins. Check out:

Are you certain that it is their yard? There location is listed as the Mojave Airport & their contact info lists a Las Vegas address.
Akin was this yard near the Mojave airport?

Akin said in a follow-up post to his original story that he turned onto Hwy 58 at Mojave and the boneyard was on the north side of the highway right after he left Mojave. Check Mapquest.com; it shows the Mojave airport at the intersections of Hwy 58 and Hwy 14.

Five miles out of Mojave, Hwy 58 in that area is the north boundary of Edwards Air Force Base. If Doug Scroggins isn't the custodian of that junkyard, he's virtually sure to know who is. There can't be THAT many people who do movie prep work for aircraft sets and props around Mojave...
