Yup and regs about Spits are being looked at with a view to allowing fare paying trips..


As for the Connie....

Well BA park up their old fleet at Cosford the scrap them en masse claiming to expensive to look after..
Lufthansa buy three old Connies sitting in the desert, build a $3,000,000 hangar and go about rebuilding one completely to fly as a historic aircraft to join the JU 52 fleet they operate ( and you can fly in )

SO.... Your chances have just improved on that score

Rare plane to fly again with help from Bangor company ? Bangor Daily News ? BDN Maine

Makes you wonder how Lufty can do stuff like this when BA couldn't even look after what was their heritage collection..

As for the F4... Well you can always go fly the sim...See

Or if you have $12.5 k lying about the real thing, see
