*** North Star will shine again
Ottawa Citizen -- The world's last
Canadair North Star sits, forlorn
on the tarmac at the Canada Aviation
Museum. It's been parked there since
1966, along with half a dozen other
orphans of the museum, planes that it
has no money to restore and that are
too big to bring inside the crowded
building. The paint on the North Star
is faded and peeling. Some gaps in
the wings are closed with wire to
keep out the birds that have made
it home for years. The engines are
protected with pieces of plywood.
The interior requires a complete
renovation.
