Bill I don’t know who has rights. I would try writing to the National Science Foundation or possibly the US Navy who I think flew the airplane. After the crash it was stripped of everything valuable. I’ve heard stories of a science group a couple of years ago stripping off one of the vertical stabilizers, which may be why there are only two left.
As far as getting it out the big problem would be getting down here. It’s not something you can do on your own very easy. Pretty much I think it would have to be a funded trip through the NSF to even come down. Let me know what you find out.
