Due to bad weather the delivery of a portion of the space shuttle trainer on the Super Guppy from Fairfield, Calif. to the Museum of Flight in Seattle has been delayed an hour.

The front section of the trainer, which includes the cockpit and crew cabin, is expected to arrive at the museum's East Parking Lot at noon instead of the originally stated time of 11 a.m.

The Aerospace Lines Super Guppy cargo plane will be on display in the museum's parking lot through Sunday.

    BELLINGHAM - Prospects for the Bellingham Maritime Museum's survival appeared dim Tuesday, March 5, after Port of Bellingham commissioners conducted a closed-door discussion of its lease.

    Port Real Estate Director Shirley McFearin, who discussed the museum's lease with commissioners during that closed-door meeting, said commissioners were not receptive to approving the reduced rental rate that museum director Mike Granat says he needs to keep the museum operating.

    The museum has been installed in a port-owned warehouse at 800 Cornwall Ave. and pays the port $750 a month for lease of 3,000 square feet. But McFearin said the museum is now using about 25,000 square feet.
