    The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}

    I still believe that Stetson used the stylized airplane used on the Stratoliner box and print ads, not a DC-3 pin. Using a DC-3 in place of a stylized Stratoliner as pictured in the ads just doesn't make sense. I still believe the whole DC-3 pin thing is wishful thinking by modern hat...

    John Miller - Aviation pioneer

    Capt. Johnny Miller was a real treasure, I had the honor of talking history with him a few times, he was truly fascinating to talk with. You can see some vintage color film footage of him flying here: http://www.dmairfield.org/people/miller_jm/index.htm

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    A Question for the Pilots of the Lounge

    Pretty much a lost art among more modern pilots, it wasn't an issue when I got my private ticket in high school. But then Lindbergh didn't use in 1927 either.

    Where are the Great Steak Houses??????

    Kirby and Westpark, though now they call it Upper Kirby. I think a people will be calling Kirby something less complimentary during the current street construction.:eusa_doh:

    MEN of the LOUNGE

    He's obviously younger, but If I was doing a remake of Madigan, that would be right look. I think that pic of Widmark was from the NBC TV version of Madigan, which was later than the orig. film.

    Cointreau & Dita

    My Aviator's Fedora By Art Fawcett

    Yep, same jacket, I'm the one that bought it in April of '06. I'd be wearing it today if wasn't 90 degrees outside. :eusa_doh: Photos don't do it justice, it's one of the nicest Hollywood Jackets I've seen.
