Wow! What altitude was that picture taken? Long way from Cessna 172 
This was reply to Going Thing cockpit picture

That was taken at 37,000 AGL.

No room for a signature on the dash.

Carroll Shelby was a flight instructor as well. I am sure he would have been amazed at the modern flight deck.  It still isn't equipped with a coffee maker and my last trip the FA dumped coffee on me just because of a little bump. Tisk, Tisk..

This is something so few will ever experience. It is stunningly beautiful to me no matter how many times I see it.

Actually looks like you are heading into the Mutara Nebula.

The Milky Way!

Yes that is an Aerostar 700P and one of 25 built.  260 KTAS at FL 250.  Now guess what this is:

Someone has a Model 17. I wouldn't mind kicking the rudder around a bit in that one.

Winner winner chicken dinner.  Tail number is N666TX.  The devil from Texas.

Another I love to fly. They were retired in Sept 19.

Here are a couple of more shots.  The plane was on display at the Lone Star Museum of Flight for a while here in Houston but sitting was aging her faster than use.

Are these the planes that were grounded?

[The Going Thing]

No. The 73-Max is.  There is nothing a matter with it. I am rated on the 738 as well. 24 in our fleet and 27 in South West's fleet. Not one issue with thousands of hours on them. Not to start another thread with the question, Doug.

Eric: I was on staff at Chino Air Museum.  I love vintage aircraft, especially prop-driven early fighters.  Your Mod 17 is absolutely beautiful.
