Captures how massive those old birds must have seemed to the '50s traveler, and showing it on the ground conveys the anticipation one might have felt on their first-ever flight on an airliner.Jerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553876967209814324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917420166802101187.post-21432946659983260712011-07-09T10:28:42.296-07:002011-07-09T10:28:42.296-07:00Jerry... is that a new photo you just posted with ...Jerry... is that a new photo you just posted with this blog entry?

You and I aren't old enough to remember that era, yet if you don't write off the past and you expose yourself to enough of it through books, movies, TV, etc., you can pull enough from all of it to paint a credible picture. And if you you use your imagination, you can feel the excitement and write from that place, right?<br /><br />On the subject of nostalgia, for me, it's not a case of wishing I was born in a different era. I'm in the time where I belong and I don't want to go back to the time of Jim Crow and iron lungs. But to go on a trip when flying was a big deal? That would be great.Jerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553876967209814324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917420166802101187.post-37102933758027128512011-03-17T18:46:59.459-07:002011-03-17T18:46:59.459-07:00Love this post, Jerry!
