Does anyone know if Joss is aware of this thing out there in the desert?
Is it mentioned on any other forum where he can read about it?
Would that be worth pursuing? Thoughts, please.

Of course, Joss has already used it for a one-off situation, so he'd
probably not be interested in its salvage. But I suspect he'd be pleased
(as would the other cast members) to know of the
efforts to save it.

Akin went back to the boneyard. His blog / journal is one wacky fun place, I strongly encourage you to check some of his back posts on other non-Firefly topics. I literally had tears running down my cheeks laughing at this one:

ACK! How incredibly shiny is that? Oh, I hope it can be rescued and put back together and cleaned up and put somewhere where I can eventually come visit it!

Sent an email to a county supervisor with jurisdiction over Mojave, CA (an unincoporated city. Here's what I wrote:

Near the Mojave Airport, near Farlin St., is a airplane scrapyard. In this scrapyard is a prop from the TV show ”Firefly” (a scifi show). It was a large fuselage used to create a futuristic ambulance in one of the episodes. A lot of fans are interested in preserving it, but nobody knows who owns the scrapyard (including many businesses who are nearby the scrapyard. I was wondering if you could help.

Here's the fan website for more info -

Thanks for any help you could give. I would love to get this piece in a tv museum.

Dickson!? I live in Fairview!!! I go to Dickson to go to Wal-Mart! Multiple shininess! Is it going to play at the Roxy opening night? If so, that's where I plan to be!

Too Awesome!!! I have been bemoaning the fact that other areas have shindigs but so far I haven't heard of any around here. If we keep locating other Browncoats from this area we can have our own. I was just talking with a coworker, fellow potential browncoat about attending the movie premier and she wants to go. She's from White Bluff. The Roxy would be great for both of us but I have a very close Browncoat buddy who lives in Nashville and that would be a long way to go for him. Anyway, we still have two months to work out the logistics and it is too SHINY knowing that a fellow Browncoat is so close by! BTW, I'm only 4.4 miles from Walmart! I sincerely look forward to meeting you.

Excellent work Akin!!!

So the wings & tail section are there! How shiny is that! So some paint, some engines, some TLC and she is as good as new.

Love the pic done up like Wash when he first finds her in the junkyard. Very appropriate since it looks like we will be saving her from the scrap heap again.

Angelharp, where are you? I'm trying to get folks together for the BDM. You can reach me at Whedonfan1540@Yahoo.com. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Bump twice!

And, as an aside? I love you guys. I just think it is so cool to see a group of people working together to try and put something together for a creative project that they love, even though they weren't the writers or actors on it. And because it's the coolest show ever.

It'd certainly be a great thing to use to start a Firefly/Serenity museum. As someone whose parents stopped at anything that said 'Museum' outside it, the privately owned small museum may be a lost art form, but not entirely extinct.

Granite & RickyJames: any word back on the respective emails you both sent inquiring on the ambulance?

Akin? Had any luck on your end?

I really don't want to see this thread buried & the ambulance forgotten about.

Curse my luck for living in Virginia. If I lived closer I could drive out & make inquiries.
