#2 Transportation

One from the archives, I took this photo of a Capital Airlines Vickers Viscount
in front of the old terminal building at the Minneapolis -St. Paul International Airport in the mid 1950's.
Capital Airlines ceased operations June 1, 1961 when merged with United Airlines.

United bought up a lot of companies over the years. Good one from this archives. Good historic perspective. V

Cool historical shot. A little before my time. I remember Allegheny and Eastern Airlines!

cool old shot of this classic plane. I remember flying in a Vickers Viscount with BEA, British European Airways. "V"

How fantastic to have this shot, Dennis.

I flew in a Viscount just the once. A short flight between Guernsey and Jersey - two islands in the English Channel - in 1966.

I remember flying in one, the noise was terrible.
