Connie

She sat alone in the corner

Dreaming her fading dreams,

Watching her world whistle and whine,

Away and without her.

Once more she thought, once more in the sky.

Once more where there is no horizon,

To fly, once more, to fly.

 

 

(Update Februrary 6, 2008) I'm recycling this again because I received a note from a man associated with this spectacular aircraft. Here is what he says:

 

Hello anyzazz65, Just an update for you and that link you

posted here, I was at her side in Salina in January, she

looks a bit sad now,holes appearing in the surfaces. Have

posted some pics of her, she still looks salvagable,but im

short on the cash at the moment.

The link hasn't been updated since 2003, so im sure some

people would like to know whats happened, or not.

I see her whenever I'm up on the road through Salina, as i

live in Wichita.

regards

Steve
