    From what I was told, they are giving rides through Sunday. Don't know if that means they are leaving on Sunday after giving rides for part of the day, or if they are flying all day Sunday and leaving Monday.

    Would love to see pics of that. Too late to make the trip though!
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    I took a detour to Brookhaven while heading out east for the day. I got a few pics of her which I'll post later tonight when I get back. Flights were $75 for adults and $50 for children. I would have loved to go for a flight. What a beauty!

    Nice shots .... here are a few of mine from my very short stay. By the way, that tail reminds me of the new American Airline tail.

    Stephen .... definitely would have liked to say helllo and put a face and name together. As soon as I pulled into the parking lot she was taxing back to the staging area on the ramp. I was able to get a few interior shots and of her departing. It was a real treat to see this bird. Next time, would like to take a ride on it.

    Great shots Mark! What a trip back in time. That cabin so boxy looking inside. Love the wooden control wheels.
