So I decided to bike my way from Prospect Heights in Brooklyn to JFK via the Belt Parkway path. When I came up to Floyd Bennett I remembered that G-BOAD is parked there. I went in and I must say that it's quite an impressive sight looking at it from the ground up. Very sleek, like a dart, hardly any seams at all, you can go right underneath the nose and to me what is most amazing is how little width there is. I mean it seemed my body could fill the entire cockpit. You can also see the Rolls Royce/SNEMCA logo on those beautiful engines as well as some finches nesting in the right outboard (facing the nose). There is also I believe a Stinson on display as well. It makes for a nice outing.
