Scamvangelist Kenneth Copeland (you need to buy me a million dollar jet so I don’t have to stand in line with demons on commercial flights) claims he bought a Vickers Viscount, and God told him to lay hands on it to remove corrosion.

The plane is cool, but even if Copeland’s story was true, it would be an unconvincing reason to believe in his idea of a god.

but with a worse safety record per flight hour.

NB: The Lockheed Electra airframe is still being used as a front line Naval Submarine Hunter, the P-3C Orion:
