C-47A "That's All-Brother" Fate

[Flying Pencil]

I'm surprised the NMUSAF or the Smithsonian didn't grab this one long ago - was its history not generally known?

Me too. I'll probably catch a lot of flak, but while I am all for keeping warbirds in the air, I think this particular airplane would best serve in NMUSAF or the Smithsonian.

I don't!

A touring exhibition is >>>>>> static one.

The trick is making it a major media event at each stop.

I'm glad the CAF jumped on this but "airborne classrooms" just bother me. Putting in 'hidden speakers' to attract kids (and other gimmicks) seems to demean the seriousness of artifacts such as this. But that's just my opinion.

If we cannot attract attention and imagination of the younger generation, then why even bother?

It not that we can't do that, its we do it in a way to minimizing the changes but maximize the attention.
