Aero-News Quote of the Day

"The Canadian government spends so much money on so-called art. They spend $2 million or $3 million on something, (and) you stand back and try to figure out what it is."

Source: Canadian aviation enthusiast Brian Munro, making his case for a Canadian investor to step up and purchase the country's last surviving Lockheed Super Constellation for preservation as both a reminder of the early days of Canada's airline history, as well as a work of art. Seattle's Museum of Flight is also said to be interested in purchasing the Connie -- which is currently being disassembled at Toronto's Pearson International Airport.
