She became a media darling in the early 1930s when she and her sister, Kathryn, flew with her parents, Lt. Col. George R. Hutchinson and his wife, Blanche, to every state on the continent. Their travels and travails were plastered across newspapers nationwide, and she parlayed that fame into multiple radio and Broadway appearances.

Concorde runs out of room at Heathrow - Times Online
CONCORDE may have to leave Heathrow, its spiritual home, because British Airways is struggling to find space to put it on display.
The supersonic airliner was grounded in 2003 after nearly 30 years in service. Air France and BA sent the planes to museums and airports around the world. Six are on display in the UK and BA retained one to put on show at Heathrow.
Plans to make it the centrepiece of Terminal 5 were cancelled. It was then parked on a taxiway in view of departing and arriving flights. This spot has been lost because of work to accommodate the Airbus A380 superjumbo.

Flights and Fancy: Like Father, Like Daughter from http://www.airspacemag.com/
There are two kinds of people in the world: Those who look up, reflexively, whenever they hear an aircraft engine, and those who don't. My seven-year-old daughter Addie appears to be in the latter category. As a member of the former, I have been hoping that as she grows up, she'll share my interest in airplanes.
I thought a total immersion might help, so I took her to her first airshow, the 2007 Kansas City Aviation Expo. Extra added bonus: I knew a B-2 flyby was scheduled. I had once seen one on static display, but never a flyby.
