Bygawd, let's tear down the Wright Flyer from the ceiling of the
Smithsonian and let that baby FLY again! It's jest a "preserved
corpse" while hanging there from the ceiling.

no it is the ONLY one, the FIRST plane, and as such it is where it deserves to
be.

I seem to recall the Smithsonian is sitting on the Enola Gay and
the Winnie Mae as well. Return 'em to the air!
NO again, there ARE historical planes are are where they deserve to be, now if
you want to fly another B-29 in th Enola Gay markings, that is different, it is
not the original, but a replica.

The He-111 that crashed, may have been the only one flying, but it is not the
ONLY He-111 in the world, and to get nit picky, it was not a He-111, but a CASA
1112, a post-war Spanish built, transport powered by RR Merlins.
