At least the Connie was real.

Dad was Sgt. Pilot/WWII, flew the Hump, went to AF, then to Capital, then UAL. Finished on the 72, retired around 1977. Fond memories of going to DCA to ck his mail, walk with him in ops room. Good Stuff. When he passed 15 Oct 03, AF gave him 21 gun, full honors, and a missing man with F15Es.
Still remember being at DCA when he taxied in the round motors. You all are the best there is, regardless of all the posts that go sideways. Blue skies to all.

If that question was directed at me.....I'm not sure. I was only with EAL for a short time and don't remember everyone I flew with. Hey...this was back in the early 1960s, and while I do remember some things.....
Did you ever fly with a gentleman named B. Terry. He's retired Eastern.
