Canadian museums are being offered the chance to buy the last intact Lockheed Super Constellation passenger aircraft on Canadian soil after a federal agency last week temporarily rebuffed efforts to relocate the airliner to Seattle's Museum of Flight. The Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board placed a three-month delay on the removal of the 53-year-old plane from a Toronto warehouse to allow a Canadian institution (or individual) the opportunity buy the plane for what is called its "fair market value" by Dec. 20. The board upheld a decision last May by an export-permit officer who refused to grant an export permit after an aviation expert had deemed the airplane to be of "significant" cultural and historical value to Canada.
Organizations such as the Toronto Aerospace Museum and the Air Canada Pionairs have been lobbying hard to keep the Super Constellation here.
According to the export permit, its value is more than $1.1-million.
