I hope some of you had the privelege of catching this documentary on the Discovery Wings channel tonight. It was an overview of the Australian society that recently recovered one of the Lockheed Constellations out of Arizona. A full time three year effort on the part of a handful of Quantas engineers and pilots. Hell of an effort to clean that bird up the way they did.
A huge bonus was the fairly indepth coverage of the Davis-Monthan storage facility. LOTS of goodies out there just begging to be ressurected (as well as rattlers, tarantulas and scorpions). I wonder if anyone actually reviews the histories of each of the stored planes to determine if there are any notably unique or significant airframes among them.
Keep an eye open for this one.
