why is Amelia Earhart's Loocked Vega more precious than another then? The 'ace' thing is an added value to the fact that the specific plane in question is the most complete, genuine and rare postwar plane known to humanity, other than being the personal ride of a Luftwaffe Ace. If that is not enough I dunno what else you would need to deem it as precious.

IF we still had these, would you fly Udet's Fokker VII? Or Don Gentile's Shangri-La?

Please read the link to the restoration history that I posted above, I'm glad the plane is in the right hands really, cos I think you guys fail to comprehend the value of this machine.
