I’m glad all survived, but what a sad loss of our history. I took my parents and sons to see the Liberty Belle some years ago when she was visiting my parents’ home town. It was quite an experience for us. My parents remembered hearing the Americans overhead in the latter stages of the war when they were still under Nazi occupation. They knew at that point that it was only a matter of time until the war was over.

I look forward to hearing the foundation's plans. Seems to be a fair amount of her remaining, and some of these preservation groups have built flying aircraft from a LOT LESS of an original.

Sigh, I guess I'm the eternal optimist. (Besides, she's flown over my house about a hundred times. We were right on the tour flight path every year.)
