aircarft in urgent need of preservation

airbelgium · 02-27-2003, 08:52 AM

I went to the Musee de l'air in Le Bourget (Paris) and found this baby sitting across the field from where the museul is. In urgent need of attention if you ask me

I'm talking about the 707 of course although some of the aircraft in the background could use some attention as well. There's even a Connie there. Anybody have any info on that one?

Ye, that would cool if it was painted in the 1960's colors

Kinda sad, but time marches on. It should be on display at the entrance of the airport or in a museum. The 707 literally changed the way we fly!

Cool airframe, but ditch the froggy "stripes on euro-white" motif.
Oops, motif is a frog word, ain't?

Like I needed any more reasons to be hacked off a the french these days; now I see pictures of how they are abusing their aviation museum pieces.
