It's Over

The last commercial aircraft that may ever be produced in the cradle of aviation for the entire world is now in the hands of its new owner, AirTran. For the rest of us, Long Beach will go to that place where the order books are always full and the paychecks feed the family. Long Beach, Burbank, San Diego, Santa Monica, El Segundo, Imperial Highway.....the list goes on forever. It is a dreary catalogue of opportunities lost, mismanagement, destructive internecine warfare and race-to-the-bottom gutter capitalism

I have spoken on this subject far too often.
