In the real world, it's been more than 30 years ago, since I was privileged to start a COD. I can still remember the smell of the exhaust...
An early morning start in Cleveland
It's a good day to go flying. But then, aren't most days?
Feet wet (Well, damp, maybe) Crossing Lake Michigan
Chicago, through the copilots side window.
Short final, 4R at KMDW.

Allen,
I found it on Sim Outhouse. Search for "Grumman Seven" There is an S2F-1, a -3, the C-1, an E-1B, and an S-2T

Don, I seem to remember the S2F was part of a "project" of 7, wasn't sure what it ment. I'll check it out on Sim Outhouse. Allen

Hi Shorty, Good shots. I use my 1997 Rand McNally Atlas to identify towns and cities since I hardly ever fly east of the Missouri. Allen
