While our erstwhile Scribe (nee’ Bossman, slave-driver extraordinaire, chump, etc.) is doing his best to relive his (misspent) youth this weekend – and will probably require copious amounts of BenGay ™ and Tylenol afterwards (snicker), his apprentices have been unchained from their ink-stained benches and allowed to post in his absence. Right. So, he asked…

Some folks out at OKC have a TWA Super Connie pretty much restored. http://www.airlinehistorymuseum.com/
wonderful a/c– fond memories of riding airlines during the 50’s–
looked forward to airline flights then–far cry from using them now—
i haven’t been on the airlines in almost a year now-=i will not use them unless it’s a “must use” case–i have a new rule–if i can drive it in 14 hours i will drive
Marvellous nostalgia
