an AAL CV-990 at KORD.

nice find!

January at O'Hare

I'm deaf just thinking of how loud those engines are.

I have a pair of hearing aids you can borrow. It's on me.

When I was kid hanging out on the observation deck at the original terminal at TPA Modern Air brought their ex AA 990's in regulary, always a loud and smokey treat.

Delta's 880's where regular visitors, wish I had taken a ride on one.
