Reply #17: More on 'open doors'. [View All]

Back in the day, as soon after takeoff as we'd kinda gotten things squared away, we opened the cockpit door.
Invited folks to come up.
Watch us FLY!
Have a chat.

Hell, I've even put a passenger (especially kids) in the co-pilot's seat for a few minutes.
Autopilot on, nothing they could do to make us instantly crash and burn
;-)

Cool?
Or what?
Lady goes back to her seat.
"Honey? I FLEW the airplane!"
How long would you remember that?
And would you come back and fly with us again?
Oh, yeah.

Celebrities/movie stars were usually a lot of fun.
Almost all of them were very nice.

I particularly remember Natalie Wood and James Garner.
Sad about her end. Nice lady.
