I was at the end of the boarding line and it was the last seat. Apparently most people didn't want that beautiful old engine blocking their view, but I thought it was great.

We got there early for the first flight of the day and I paid the extra $ for the co-pilot's seat. There were people behind me in line that asked if it was available.

My ambition for a good while is to grow old disgracefully. So far my wife tells me that I am doing really well!

They were all part of my trade and fascinating for me. Great photos and they bring back a load of memories thank you, because until the 'haunted fish tank' displays came in they just didn't change. (Haunted fish tank = TV/video display) I'm glad you enjoyed them. I don't really know much about flying, so I just thought the wooden Ford steering wheels were cool. Ken

All that 1920's technology and then the Garmin 496 GPS tucked at the bottom of the panel just to bring it screaming into the 21st Century! Mark

I don't really know much about flying, so I just thought the wooden Ford steering wheels were cool. Great Tri-Motor photos, all! The cockpit photos with the wooden steering control was interesting, as a Tri-Motor cockpit photo my Dad took shows Bakelite wheels on the yoke arm ... a restoration choice, maybe?
