Delta had a couple of those guys, they flew out of MIA, different breed of cat. When DAL got the old PanAm "8"s, they swore that there were bungees in the controls that made them fly like the boats.

Truly sad that not a one was saved, what a time in history that was.

Bit of a short lived romance considering what we have now. How I miss the days of coffee, tea or me.

It is a shame that none of the twelve built have survived!
