I ask, as others have done, why aren't they recycled? <br /><br />I can just see someone writing a story in which one of those retired airplanes takes to the sky and tells us about his/her struggles! Oh what a story that would be.<br /><br />Peace.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612299013780771262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-69501747761660985322012-06-19T10:01:42.031-07:002012-06-19T10:01:42.031-07:00In 2008 my husband and I took a long trip around t...In 2008 my husband and I took a long trip around the country which included driving along this road!
