I was fortunate to have flown the DC-8 for 15 years and grew to love it.

Thought I'd heard of all of Jimmy Stewart's flying movies but that one doesn't even remotely ring a bell. Anyone know the name of it?

Nice pics, Stretch. I've got several hundred hours in the C118..or DC6. Fun airplane. Did several Atlantic crossings where the navigator was 'supposed' to do Celestial nav but instead, did bearings on jet contrails. It worked. Tough airplane to land softly and always a pleasure to fly those old recips.

I've probably got a few thousand hours on that ramp alone with both EAL and UAL!
Every issue of Airline Pilot I get it seems has the name of someone who's "gone West" that I knew during my career. Perhaps your Dad was one of them. I think getting old has something to do with it. I'll no doubt see my own name in there one of these days.

I was EAL at DCA on the 727 from 85' to 89'...saw a lot of Connies and DC's coming over the Bridge when I was a kid...the observation deck at National was one of the best!

Consider 'em sold. Any money you make off of them tho, I want my usual 56% cut!!
You didn't by chance know a Reed Racer (I think that was his last name??) did you? He was our Connie flight instructor when I was there (1963/4).
Any chance you'd consider selling a print of the DCA shot and the nacelle shot (#4)?

You'll have to make 'prints' off the shots posted as that's all I have. The snapshots were scanned and then thrown away. They were only 3x5 anyway.
As to PMing: apparently I haven't been around long enough as I can't do any of that fancy stuff yet. ??
