But I am happy about it. See I got you fame. OTher people are trying to convince you to market Stratolina. Can't be as bad as trying to market a few cadillac's stuck in the ground!

I predict the Stratolina will becone a creature of myth. People will pass downs stories of her for generations to come. Ya know like the Loch Ness monster or Herbie the Love Bug

Hey how about this:
Pour tons of money in it, just like a warbird. Get merlin engines, F-102 wheels, and a P-51 tail, and then try to sell it on ebay.!!
