Personally, I think that you've lost the plot somewhat KK! A few years ago I flew through the Alps on a Lockheed Constellation. The reason was that although I had flown on many piston airliners in my youth, I had never flown on the Connie. For that reason I would never have wanted to fly on some modern reproduction or one powered by anything else other than the Wright Cyclones R3350 it should be powered by. Furthermore, I didn't care a hoot what sort of sortie it was flying. I simply wanted to fly on it. You seem to think that passengers fly on these aircraft purely for the scenic aspect of the flight. Believe me, a good percentage don't. They just want to fly on the genuine article of the type concerned.
