peer01 Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 About the Saab Scandia: I Know I've seen them in the 60's, and I know I liked this little shiny airliner back then. Very similar to the DC-3, but with a nose wheel. Only 18 were built. There aren't many pics available on the net, here are a few: Please click on the pics for a better view: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Nice pics! As to the "Stewardess" in that last shot. I think she's still working, except now she's flying with American. I think she was on my last flight with them. And no the extra fifty years haven't worn well with her either!! Is she your youngest daughter? :p Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peer01 Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 I only improved the aerodynamics a bit. Also on the back. Will save you fuel. And I took off some useless parts. :) I mean, after dark you aren't allowed to leave your house, public safety. HA! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
