General aviation news and information

A week ago today I was 3000 miles from where I'm at now, in a small town named Pullman, and preparing to head to another town named Lewiston, where would board a flight and head back to where I am now.
Looking back, it all seems surreal.
And then when got back, had a few days to recoup and reflect, before being hurled back into the world of 'labor servitude (job), where worked 3 long days; and now today I'm off, and my mind feels like mush.

I bring all that up cause, well, the coast to coast flight wasn't as enjoyable as I thought it would be.
For one, I was taller than the windows in the airplanes.
I remember years ago, when flying, that wasn't the case, which tells me they're designing big jets differently and making the windows lower to the floor (not sure why, unless they figure smaller and smaller people are flying)

----------------------------

I used to love aviation and airports, now, not so much.
I've really changed, cause to me, airports are a pain in the behind, and so are people, for the most part...🤨
I'd actually rather take a bus or a train now, than fly, and would have, if didn't live so far away from the person I needed to see, which was my mother, now that we're talking again.

to be continued, and also pics and videos of the flight to follow, as time allows.

Air traffic control, back in the early 1960's



There was a lot of social turmoil occurring back in 1963, but watching these aviation promo films, you'd never know it.

What a retro airliner plane and time



I don't think I ever got to fly one a MD-L, DC-10 or 747, darn.

Hmm, years ago this would of seemed fun to me, not so much now though...but still a cool concept.
