Why donate?

Why spend money on these projects? I think that the invention of jet transport altered the world in a much more profound way than we imagine. As ordinary as flying may seem today (notwithstanding the current situation) we are living now in what science fiction for so many generations before us. Traveling across the globe has become a matter of hours instead of weeks or months. Jet travel made dreams come true and while only a few relics from the early jet age survive, the number of preserved aircraft is dwindling. Some day there will be few or none left. The intent of this activity is to bring these cockpits to life and maintain them as a living, breathing piece of aviation history for people to enjoy long term, while seeing how challenging it was to fly these wonderful inventions that revolutionized air travel. Non computerized aircraft that required muscles and brain to fly across oceans and continents – an endeavor that has become history nowadays, with automation reaching new heights.
