This was in our paper today.
It's not too far from me, and I have seen it many times in the air and on the ground.

"Fuddy Duddy," a rare B-17 Flying Fortress from World War II, was based at the National Warplane Museum in Geneseo, Livingston County, until the museum abruptly moved to Elmira. Now the historic plane is for sale. Asking price: $3.5 million.

Should we take up a collection? I've got dibs on the first ride!!! 😀

Even a C152 would be squished in at my house, so its out of the question for me. Maybe we could convince management at KLAX to supply a GA hangar for us, as it would be nice and central to everyone? 😉
