It seems that the Airline History Museum complaint against the "City" was dismissed by the FAA leaving the museum and its aviation collection in a very delicate position. Although the museum remains silent about the deliberation, when consulting the FAA docket about the case, apparently the museum is trying to file an appeal which has to be submitted until May 11.
Ralph M. Pettersen's Constellation Survivors Website states that "Word is that the museum's L1011 will be scrapped before the FIFA World Cup event happens in mid-June".
The L-1011 in question is the S/N 193B-1066, which was flown to the Kansas City Airport under the registration N700TS and later re-registered N31019, its original TWA tail number. There is another L-1011 on display at the very same airport - the N910TE belonging to the KC Aviation STEM (previously TriStar Experience).
