Aw man, you are a library of aviation history I bet... would love to talk to ya about that some time!

I remember going to KATL as a kid and seeing the old Eastern side of one of the concourse's... they still had some of the memorabilia up around the place... was very sad seeing those beautiful L-1011's in the photos.

What I'd give to be able to experience the real hay day of modern aviation.

a healthy dose of janitorial work.
