Have a Great Day, everybody!

Well, okay then. This popped-up today, and it has to
be the most FRUSTRATING Constellation out there!
Gross mis-management and in-fighting have lead to
this aircraft SITTING on the GROUND for the past few
years despite being basically ready to go!



Some of the facts are are little off, which is a bit of
a surprise coming from a museum docent, but the
aircraft itself is just Stunning! Also, the issues
surrounding its being glued to the tarmac are totally
ignored! ~x( X( :((

She's a Beaut, though........
