Title: The Flying Heritage collection of Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen
Post by: anwar on February 20, 2013, 12:02:34 PM
Never knew about this side of Paul Allen, only that he was a co-founder of Microsoft. Someone who really cherishes the heritage of aviation.  Spent a lot of money on restoring WW2 aircraft, and is one of the only places where many of these are still kept in flying condition.
