Sorry. My bad - I'll knock it off. Supposed to be a pictures thread.

Cool airplane. I did a little work helping to restore this one for use by Everett Community College in their airplane mechanic program.



These things had a horrible start to their commercial air service. The square windows were the root of the problem - multiple pressurization cycles started cracking the fuselages at the corners of the windows. Several suffered catastrophic failures as a result and went in, killing all on board. The oval windows on the one I worked on were the solution. Tragic story, really.
