This Gargantuan Plane Was Almost The Post-WWII Airbus A380
Even today's Airbus A380s, the grand star of any international airport that can receive them, make's people stop mid-traffic just to marvel at their imposing form. So what makes the cut as a gigantic airplane? There is no real criteria, it's just one of those things that you know when you see it. (foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com) עוד...

How cool... we forget just how good we used to be as American manufacturing and innovation..
Hope they find a way to restore this amazing airplane. This is the kind of airplane that needs to be preserved for future generations in a museum. Rare airplanes are priceless.
I agree Jerry. Maybe at least to display status.

I am sure the Museum at Wright Patterson will gladly accept your donations towards it's renovation! ;-)

Brilliant thought Geoff! One can donate to the XC-99 or any other project they desire.
