Re: OT - Boeing 40C; Oldest Air Worthy Boeing Airliner
4000 AGL and the engine coughs. Not too bad, you probably had a pretty good glide ratio in that thing. What really sucks is less tha 100 AGL and the single turbine engine on the helo quits. No time for true autorotation, the pilot just pretty much flared it and tried to stuff the skids into the air ...

It's wonderful to see that older planes are restored. While many end up in museums, those that fly seem to touch the soul. The oldest plane, to date that I have flown in is either (I don't know which was built first), a JU-52 or a PBY Catalina, both owned by the Spanish Air Force. But I'd love to go...
