If you own the familly business with no shareholders......

Newsletter Carnuba Sikorsky 38 and Samuel C. Johnson

I was working in Antigua on the airport at St Johns when this aircraft joined the circuit. I thought I was having a halucination.

Apart from the actual building of the replica, it's entourage included a couple of very expensive business jets, a Cessna Caravan floatplane in case it went down on the water and a Sikorsky
S76 helicopter camera ship with a special camera nose for aerial shots.

Apparently after completing the flight to Brazil the crews were told to just make their way back to Chicago in slow time getting good film footage. What a job!!!!!
If you have enough money you can do anything.

I would suggest contacting the guy who's planning to rebuild the Titanic. A Wellington would be small change.
