(Pittsburgh, PA) “Miss Pittsburgh,” the plane that hung for years above the security gates at Pittsburgh International Airport, may finally have a safe landing place. The historic plane didn’t make a move to the new terminal. However, Heinz History center director Andy Masich sent KDKA a statement saying the plane will be preserved as part of its collection and restored for the mail flight’s centennial next year. “Miss Pittsburgh” made the first mail flight from Pittsburgh to Cleveland and back a century ago. The Heinz History Center is putting in a 92,000-foot addition, and Masich also held out the possibility “Miss Pittsburgh” will be displayed at the center.
