My rubber duck hunting boots were made in Canada. Considering I only paid $20 for 'em they're pretty terrific. I like a prop plane for a short hop, fly low so you can see something. -Curt On Wednesday, May 13, 2020, 7:26:57 PM EDT, Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes wrote: Q400 is a nice

I loved it there, was really disappointed when it got renovated and the new part added on.  It was somehow fitting it was a sh*tty old airport, but it was really convenient, parking and whatnot, rental cars were right across from the door.  I would see all kinds of famous people there.  One

Those hourly commuter flights up the East Coast out of DC were pretty rowdy in the summertime. All of the politicos and their staffers trying to get out of town for the weekend on Friday afternoon in a big hurry. The wife was working for the Federal Home Loan Bank in the 80s and we would often

Eastern Airlines back when they flew L188 Electra's I saw Grace Kelly sitting in Ist class as I boarded the Boston/LaGuardia shuttle once, and exchanged a smile of recognition. That was about 1969 in Boston. Ist wife's folks lived in NYC at that time and we visited monthly then. Old Wrinkly Fred.

I liked Eastern, but they were going through their final demise when I was traveling. I think I only flew them a couple of times, one time on a 727 from ATL to MKE with one other passenger. Loads of fun playing euchre with the cabin crew and free drinks. -D > On May 13, 2020, at 12:39 PM,
