I agree, but I wonder what the price tag would be. Museums typically rely on donations and don't always have the space for something like this. But nothing would be more tragic than seeing this go to the scrap yard. I could probably work with local people for permanent space at the airport, but we would need a gofundme site or something to come up with the purchase price. A tall order if you ask me. I'm not opposed to taking the lead, but would like to see more feedback, as COS would not be a bad location for it, but wouldn't be the most ideal.
