I can remember when flying was a luxury and the
passengers all wore business suits and dresses. Now
the experience is like taking the bus........

For the equivalent of a year's salary you could cross the Atlantic in half
the time...

As a kid in the early '60s, I did a lot of traveling with my folks. I
have fond memories of sleepily watching the piston engine exhaust on
night flights. Oh, to have had camera gear at the time...

Speaking of watching flames come of out an exhaust, back when I was little
my dad and I would often go the Orange County Airport (SNA) to watch planes
take off and land, and it was a real treat to watch Bonanza Air Lines F-27s
start up. There would be only about fifty feet between us and the aircraft,
separated by a four-foot chain link fence. The passengers would board, the
door would close, and we'd hear the whine of the turbines being spun. My dad
had mentioned the word "turboprop" and told me to look into the exhaust on
the nacelle and watch for the "whoosh" of flame swirl around inside. All
this came back to mind when I ran across this video:
