Via Swallowing Tacks, one of my mid-childhood fetishes was aviation. When I couldn't figure the resources for that I ended up discovering computers, which has served me well, but I still run across things that make me turn back into that wild-eyed twelve year old who could identify a gazillion different aircraft from the golden ages of aviation. Save A Connie is the website of the Airline History Museum at Kansas City[Wiki], and they've restored the only flying Lockheed "Super G" Constellation, a Martin 404, and are working on restoring a Douglas DC-3. Also be sure to check out the radio controlled model of the Constellation, with a 22 foot wingspan and requiring two pilots to fly.
