Great shots, Senga!

Zero-G looks great!

Super Senga was posted great pics again

As always Senga, great catches and shots. Not sure if I mentioned in a previous thread but where you aware Eastern flew 727's into TIX in the late 60's-early 70's, at Manned Space Flights peak ? I think the main routing was MIA-TIX-ATL and return,

Cheers

Thanks and thanks :)
Ron, I didn't know Eastern used to fly to TIX. TIX doesn't look like it get much of anything. Amazing how an airport like that used to have that kind of traffic.

Great stuff Senga, what exactly is TIX used for these days?

Great shots Senga! That E-145 is a nice one!

Thanks Mark, Bill
TIX....Its mainly a GA airport witha large helicopter training school there or something.

Heres a shot of the Pan Am 727 at SFB today.. I am still really fuming of the cloud that moved in RIGHT when the blasted plane taxied next to me. It happed RIGHT at that moment.

Rich, this is the furst time Pan Am has hit SFB in a long time. I wonder if this is the last plane they are flying.

Nice Pan Am 727! There are 3 of them in the fleet.

Ok thanks Matt.
Its too bad that they never expanded with more than just a few planes. I'd love to see them pick up some A320s after they lsoe the 727s.

I have flown on that 727 and Clipper Juan Trippe between SFB and BQN a few times.

What do those Pan Am 727s look like on the inside?

United interrior, a "first class cabin" which was just a bunch of United first class seats left up there. It was a a mix matched cabin though on both jets. I went to the bathroom and there was labeling for CO in there while the cabin was UA and the emergency flashlights sitting in the charger were from Delta.

So they went to the boneyard and just scrounged about to get stuff? :)

Quite humorous,
I still think they have one of the best liveries even out there still.
Even in its whitness.
