Flew to Japan for a three year tour in 1958 on a MATS Connie. I was 6 years old, and my dad was in SAC. I got to ride in the cockpit. Thanks for the memories!

I got to ride in a connie when Eastern Airlines flew a collection of four engined airliners on their Shuttle up and down the eastern seaboard back in the early 60's
They were beautiful birds. One of my favorite chatzkys is a huge metal model of an Eir Lingus Super Constellation in a fitted wooden case which I was given for helping to clean out the store room of a travel agency (remember those?)

I found out a pilot friend is also into 4x5 photography, of which I had no idea until recently. Since we're both pilots we've been talking about asking some of our airplane owning friends about photographing their birds (well, my friend is an owner but there's nothing all that photogenic about yet another Cherokee 140, though I imagine we could work something up.)

Nice shot of the B17 cockpit. Is it available larger?

A "P.S." to my earlier post, #30. When we left the Philippines enroute to Taiwan we flew on an "Air America" aircraft. We thought it was American Airlines but what did an unsophisticated 23 yr old know back in early 1959. Later we learned that Air America was operated by the CIA. Howard

Just a typical aircraft pic but it makes me feel like flying.

Sirius,

You have identified a B-25 as a B-24. Just thought you'd like to know.

Lovely photos anyway!

Here's a de Havilland Tiger Moth at the British Columbia Aviation Museum in Sidney, BC. You can tell it's the Canadian version because it has a canopy to protect the pilot from the vicious Saskatchewan winter.
