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.

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.

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