I hope whom ever buys it puts enough fuel in it to GIT-R-HOME, my grade 8 girlfriends father was the pilot of The Gimli Glider. Great girlfriend and her dad was pretty cool too.

Well that's ur love of aviation and perspective of you guys but not mine and I can speak for lots of others who have worked on this aircraft or been around big airliners who want it preserved for many years. Lets see what happens in April with it. There are many other factors that also needs to be considered by buying party being it US or Canadian if its bought as airworthy aircraft for it to fly out to its permanent home, its also possible some company buys it to make money by parting it out, we'll see what happens.....I wanted to let you all know about its availability and that's about it as many think, it had already been scrapped, which is obviously not the case with 604.

I'm glad I'm not the only aviation enthusiast who sees no place for a clapped out old 767 in a museum! I'd think donating a million bucks to keep our current museums bills paid would be a better investment.

"wrap it around some Alexander Keith's and put on ice."

+1

Or buy it and turn it into a homeless shelter/soup kitchen!

Instead of the plane...they should have the 4 meter long stick that was marked in litres and the fuel slick on it ( or lack of)...cheaper to store. Start us off Sammy with a 999,999 dollar donation and I'll chip in a buck.

I like your beverage idea. Nice plane but not even a museum wants it. Money pit, ever watch that movie?

Pass this info all Canadian museums across the country or organizations who could buy it and save it, least we have this opportunity to save this aircraft vs many thought its already gone.....
nothing historic here to save
