Wow,

did you go to the Connie home page and read about the fight between the Toronto Aerospace Museum and Seattle Museum of Flight?

Unbelievable.

Wow, I would have gotten a real kick out of seeing that on the road... talk about a double take!

The fight by the Canadians over the Constellation isn't surprising, at least to me.

My experience is with dinosaurs in western Canada. They have one of the most abundant resources for dinosaur skeletons in the world, but only one or two Canadian museums are allowed to collect them. The rest are left to rot in the elements. Their idea of preservation is mixed up sometimes...
