SPLENDOR IN THE SKY

摘要

In 1983, a lockheed L-1649A starliner that had once flown for Trans World Airlines touched down at Maine's Auburn-Lewiston Municipal Airport and parked on the tarmac. Its new owner had plans to restore it, but he eventually realized that he didn't have the money. Over the next quarter of a century, the airliner, once known as Star of Tigris, sat outside and waited, its tires deflated and cracked, rain and snow infiltrating the mostly aluminum airframe.
