I hope that's her husband or boyfriend. Otherwise that's one creepy dude.

 

[T Bolt]

So where exactly is is left hand?

 

[Wayne Little]

with that smile probably somewhere it shouldn't be...

Cool pics!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

With Matt, great material guys.

 

[Airframes]

Great pics. Note the excess of safety equipment for spray-painting in the last shot - bib and brace coveralls!
Compare that to 'today' - regulated, air fed mask, full face and head protection, one-piece coverall sealed at neck, wrists and ankles, protective gloves, sealed at wrists, over-boots - and temperature-controlled, ventilated spray booth with a 30 minute maximum duration!

 

[Matt308]

Yeah. All that cost and efficiency loss for 3 extra years of adult assisted living at tax payer expense. Not sure if we are moving forwards or backwards.

I hope that's her husband or boyfriend. Otherwise that's one creepy dude.

Anyone that wears a jumpsuit with sandals should have thier ass kicked and thrown off the ramp anyways...

Thought I'd toss in a vintage photo here, also

This is Elsie McKay, also known as "Poppie Windham" who was an Aviatrix in the early days. She was an acomplished pilot, but was lost over the Atlantic in an attempt to fly to Europe...

 

[Capt. Vick]

Hello, hello... My aren't you the cat's pajamas!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I think the Capt. likes your photo Dave. It is a good one though.

 

[GrauGeist]

Yeah, that dame was the cat's meow alright, a real looker! Plenty of Joes would have broken a mug just to get the chance to trip the light fantastic with her!

Seriously, though...for anyone interested about Poppie: Elsie Mackay
