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.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
