Peter,
I saw lots of sights like those when I was in Mountainview two years ago. I just hope a couple of dozen airframes make it into museums and private collections so 50 years from now people will be able to see a great Canadian aircraft.
Just 10 - 15 years ago there were several CL-44s?Yukons in the States and Bombardier/Canadair and NAM were contacted by Peter Cassell to try and save one but they were not interested. Now we have to raise money to travel three times the distance to bring back a rotting wreck so we will have one example of the largest built Canadian aircraft. It is a shame but at least one still exists and hopefully it will come home to Trenton in the near future.
Eric
