Island in the Sky.
 

I just finished watching Island in the Sky (a great movie) movie on
tv.The movie will be on tv again tomorrow afternoon on the AMC tv
channel at 4:45 PM CST.That is an interesting emergency signal radio (or
whatever kind of radio it is/was) they were using on the ground outside
their Airplane.The radio had a crank handle on the top of the radio.

Also check out the S-40B at HQ;
the BC-348 in the C-47 is OK,too as is the
vintage Vibroplex "Champion" bug.
Did anyone else wonder how they got two aircraft
engines in those C-47's with standard airline
passenger-type doors?
