I was able to take the F1 tour when they were being stabalized at the Space Works. The ocean salt smell was still strong. They removed the Viking display and will have one of the F1s at the Cosmosphere soon.http://www.bezosexpeditions.com/updates.html says those engines part are from Apollo 12 and Apollo 16. Wonder where the Apollo 11 F1 parts went?
I'm curious as to how the different F-1s were identified by mission. Did NASA record the ocean impact points of the S-IC stages? If so, to what degree of accuracy?

My guess is that the Apollo 11 parts are being held for the Smithsonian. I know for a fact that at one point the Smithsonian was considering accepting them.
