    The romantic days of flying are sadly long gone.

  • I flew to the States on one of these beauties, a couple of times. I was shown the flight deck. It was enormous (I was very young). What an experience.

    Bad weather forced a landing in pre-revolution Cuba. Havana airport was a wooden shed.

    We had a sleeping birth, but it was too noisy. The flight engineer had to go out into the wings to check the motors, I seem to remember. He also had to release me from the WC after I got locked in! Hurrah for the BOAC junior jet club.

  • Thanks for this.

  • Yup, those were the glory days of air passenger travel! I've said it before, but those days all went to Hades when governments stepped in more and more to run the airlines, and big corporate greed micromanaged its airlines into sullen mediocrity!

  • Cool

  • You put up some good stuff. I've watched about a dozen of your videos and they all have been worth watching. And unlike some airplane aficionados you allow embedding. It's appreciated.

  • Thats incredible that it had two levels

  • @applesweeter (Sorry, slighkty drubk here) With regard to quwestions 3 and 4, for me, it's the logisitics involed in cooking and srivng a meal on and airborne plane where you're only kept i the air by 4 propellers,a nd there's no piped gas to cook your meal witjh, it's all self-contained...as to number 4, well, if it's a lomng flight, we have to eat as a case of neccissity!

  • Dear All,

    I have some question about psychology:

    (1) Why do we enjoy flying?

    (2) Why do we love air travelling?

    (3) Why do we feel that in-flight meals are so interest and special?

    (4) Why do we like dinning at 42000 feets high?

    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)
