is that it's not as though we live a country that lacks the resources to do something. Government waste and corruption pisses away trillions of dollars every year, and unethical corporate billionaires dot the landscape with 50,000 sq ft mansions to house their trophy wives, yet there somehow isn't enough money in America for something worthwhile like a building to protect a few pieces that are of genuine historical significance. It's maddening.
Also, I never really thought about it until now, but did you ever notice that any number of aviation musuems in the U.S. occupy some pretty plush digs? The USAF Museum at Wright-Patterson doesn't have to keep planes parked outside to deteriorate in the Ohio elements. Just a fraction of their indoor space is big enough to house a freakin' B-36.
Similarly, you can drive down the road a few miles from Aberdeen to the Smithsonian's Udvar-Hazy Center outside of D.C. to appreciate the contrast between the haves and the have-nots. While the Elefant languishes outside, there are dozens of planes and spacecraft arrayed in a building that's practically a work of art in itself. What gives?
They should give it to billionaire Littlefield so he can get that baby running again as well as garage it. Tell me it wouldn't be tempting to fire that gun once
