    One of the rarer LGA shots I have seen and Love !

    As most of you know Jon Proctor has recently started uploading some classics to JP with some wonderful results. Knowing he had some great classic LGA and as I feel lucky to call Jon a friend for many years I asked him to to please upload some of his LGA stuff. Well he actually uploaded quite a few LGA classics but this is by far my favorite, a pretty rare (for LGA) and beautiful visitor, Enjoy !

    Wow, unsane.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.

    wow, what a memory. Flew her from JFK-HNL nonstop in 1986. Fantastic livery!
    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.

    what the opening on the fuselage just fwd of the wing root? is that the air pressure stab valve?
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    That is the outflow valve. It is used to control cabin pressure. In flight it will close but not all the way. It will regulate the pressure by opening and closing. On the ground it is wide open.
