Well gang, back in crap land in one piece.
Miss you all tons!

Can't like that, sorry I had to put you on the plane - Like I said, though, you're a short timer there with a much better life ahead real soon!

Did you ever find the proof that I previously saw your gal?

 

[GonePlaid]

I really wish I could have flown in a Connie and an Electra.

To be more specific, I flew in an Electra and a P-3 Orion(Navy version of Electra). And years B4 that, a DC-7. Also during Navy time, a few DC-3s and a Convair 440.

No sorries at all.
You are one of the most beautiful and gracious people I know.
I won’t ever forget……

Flew on an American Airlines Electra.
Was such a gas as a kid!

There isn’t any that I can find here.

I guess I can remote view. Hope the CIA isn’t on the forum.

Weren't the DC10s know for BYOB? Bring your own bolt...

my dad. you used to tell the story of reading “All DC-10s Grounded” on the front page of some news publication while flying on a Swissair one…..funny stuff…..not so much when the whole vertical stabilizer would come off dut to poorly understood metal fatigue on a bolt…..yikes….

DC-3 ? They’re WW2 era aren’t they?

 

[GonePlaid]

DC-3 ? They’re WW2 era aren’t they?

Yep. Military still used them while I was in the Navy(64-68)and a few years after. Many manufacturers have tried to come up with a replacement but the only a/c that can replace a DC-3 is...another DC-3. There have been quite a few converted to turbo prop power.
EDIT: USAF retired their last ones in 67 except for one special ops group that used one 'til 2008.

Remember, I'm an authentic olde phart.

You posted a pic of one of your flights before didn't you?

You can call me names you can't type here now....

NSA, but why quibble?

Oh, and you should change up your routines a little. You're very predictable. And sit up straight when reading posts.

No problem. I had a chance to go up in one of these, but I had to be somewhere else work related. Watched it T/O and land though.
