I honestly think she would be a good candidate for running when NKP 765 goes down for her overhaul. I would love to see number 587 back in action. I've never seen it before unless you count the home videos people have made and the 587 movie that was made circa 2000, I think.
I think it's safe to say we aren't interested in 587 - especially because it's a little distasteful to speculate on poaching another organization's equipment just because they're in a challenging situation.
