I like the choice of music - Rod Stewart's "Sailing", as I remember it from the BBC Documentary series about the (old) HMS Ark Royal yonks ago....must be 30 years back.
Seeing the real aircraft makes me please that we have the Flight Sim version to keep the aircraft 'alive' with.
Former RAF XP447. Last time I was there was about 5 years ago and it didn't look too much different from the photos. Apparently restoration work is/was underway by the Milestones of Flight Museum located at the field. The museum doesn't get a lot of visitors, so those who do tend to get a very complete and knowledgeable personal tour. Fox Field itself serves as a major staging base for fire bombers during Southern California's infamous brush fire season. It's also just a few miles up the road from Palmdale Airport, home of US Air Force Plant 42, which includes manufacturing and testing facilities for Lockheed-Martin, Northrop-Grumman, and Boeing - including the legendary Skunkworks.
Hopefully my wife and I will be able to head up to Lancaster before too long. If I can talk her into it I'll head to the museum and see if I can sweet-talk them into letting me get some photos inside the Argosy.
