would be fun and instructive to either hang the aircraft from the ceiling so that it appears to be flying (if thats possible, given its weight) or mount it on
pylons so that its far enough off the floor to maintain the illusion. There should be safe stairs to get up to the aircraft-perhaps the type of stairs airlines used
to use before jetways came along. If the aircraft is high enough off the floor, and a ramp is impractical, there will have to be a small elevator for the
handicapped. The plane is huge, one of the largest and most important piston-driven ever built, and it deserves a comparable display. Inside, all the consoles and controls should be operational,
