Here is some info on the current location of the Belle...

When the Belle was originally moved to Mud Island Park in Memphis, I was chosen to be one of the 6 RC pilots that got to fly from the tip of the Island during the dedication. I was only 12 or so at the time but I loved every minute of it. My buddy, Milton Dickey, had a 1/3 scale Laser at the time. He mounted one of the first small video cameras on a dummy hatch on top of the plane and recorded a couple 15 minute flights from the island.... The footage is incredible : )
