Yes, it reduces the number of flying examples. But in a museum, at least you
have it to look at and photograph, instead of a smoking heap. These planes
are close to 60 years old, and the real things will never come back. There
is a time when they are too valuable to risk. I love the old birds too, but
we have to make a choice. I'd rather my grandchildren get to see one in the
flesh, instead of showing them a picture and telling them what a tragedy the
crash was.
