    Great 757 shot from the late Frank Schaefer. good find, Michael.

    Man, Bob Garrard's shots kick ass as always.

    Could the service on a Twim Otter actually havebeen good?

    I doubt it; I have been on a few twotters and they are not the smoothest flying bird on earth but boy do they pack a punch! MGM really had a classy color scheme to them.

    Now that I am thinking back a little bit I can swear that I saw one of the formoer MGM 727's sitting on a remote ramp at CLT save for one of her engines perhaps parted out of Jack Roush who has apair of those beauties himself.

    All 3 of the former MGM Grand 727's are based at CLT and do fly for Roush Racing in most of their former scheme. It would be interesting to know if much of the interior is unchanged? Here is a recent photo compliments of our own Brian Futterman

    The DC-8-62's survived but sadly became freighters, have to do some research if they are still flying, I think they might be !

    Cheers
