Just share a few details on that.
41:39
Yeah, yeah.
41:41
So our actual campus here, we have 80 acres open to the public.
41:45
We have 136 in our original parcel.
41:48
And about a decade ago, we acquired 80 acres immediately to the east of us.
41:53
But the land has some... complications on it that wasn't really suitable for expanding their museum over there.
42:01
So we had an opportunity to build out a military vehicle museum that sort of modeled on the same ethos as we are here.
42:54
this because you know clearly we're talking about the pima air and space museum in tucson for folks but yeah about 25 miles down the road you've got the titan missile museum and that's also part of the family so give a little bit of info on that
4:38
Wow
4:38
... display initially, right? And I have to say, you know, when we were doing this back in 2007-ish, um, you know, we really didn't have a whole lot of-- I mean, the facility wasn't anywhere near as robust.
4:48
We only had one boom lift.
4:50
Um, it was a very slow, uh, and delicate process to get, get the paint on it.
4:56
And um, you know, the, the UV and the sun, uh, takes its toll out here, especially with metallic paints.
5:04
You know, if you've seen the airplane recently, and I think, you know, we'll, we'll send you some photographs of sort of the general condition, and that'll sort of answer the question for you.
5:10
I mean, we've had a lot of paint loss, certainly on the upper part of the airplane, and, um, losing a lot of big sections of paint.
