It is the single largest donation in the Smithsonian's 153 year
history - made by a man who has amassed an 18 billion dollar fortune by
leasing planes he owns, to major airlines.
NAT TAKE OFF
NARR:
The donation will pay for nearly half the cost of building a new
museum, one so large it could even have it's own weather.
It will house some 180 planes - including the SR-71 blackbird,
the fastest and highest flying plane ever built.
There will even be enough room for the Shuttle Enterprise - now sitting
where no on can see it.
COWAN ON CAM:

"Aviation history certainly needs a place to spread its wings. Out of
the hundreds of exhibits already on display at the National Air and
Space Museum, it still represents a mere 10 percent of the Smithsonian's
huge collection."
NARR:
The rest remains here waiting for a new home. Construction on the
new facility will begin next Spring on a plot of land near Dulles
International Airport and is expected to be finished by 2003 - the 100th
anniversary of the Wright Brother's first flight.
