“Wagon Train to First Flight"
There’s an interesting story behind this photo from
Billy Walker of Phoenix, Arizona: The man in the
photo is Billy’s father Pic, and he’s about to take these
two women on their first airplane flight, during the 1930s.
The interesting part? "The lady to my father’s right came
out West on a wagon train with seven killed by Indians."
What better example of our exciting modern world
than a photo of a woman who traveled by wagon
train taking her first flight? Thanks for sharing, Billy!

“Nice Kitty, Niiiice Kitty"
Michael Koff of Thornhill, Ontario (Canada) offers
a bit of travel advice for adventurous AVweb readers:
"In South Africa, the weather is so consistently
awesome you can fly virtually anytime you want.
Getting to your airplane, however,
can be a whole different problem."

"All Dressed Up with No Place to Go"
It’s a great museum photo, but what really
captured our imagination about this submission from
Alfred Schleif of Pahrump, Nevada was his description:
"Northwest DC-3 flying at low level through the
Henry Ford Museum [in] Dearborn, Michigan."
