Several different part time and summer jobs while in high school and university including deck hand on a fishing boat out in British Columbia. Became a marine archaeologist and retired at age 54. Then 5 years as a Harley tech followed by 5 as a Honda tech. Finally retired from my retirement job last year. Now I only work on my own stuff.

I'll never forget my Electra ride as a kid, coming home from Michigan and having to circle National Airport for some long period of time because a small plane was lost in the storm. I couldn't see much out the window besides grey and the inboard engine cowl. I filled a couple ASBs in that deal.

Electra - beautiful plane, once they got the engines bolted on properly. Evolved into the Orion, of course.

We have a lot of aircraft memorabilia around the house. I just took this terrible picture in our kitchen.
A nice print of Amelia Earhart flying over a the San Francisco Bay Bridge 1937.

Interesting, I think Jim was referring to the L188 Electra airliner, where Barry's pic of the Earhart plane is also a Lockheed Electra....... (and an Electra also features in the final scene in 'Casablanca' for all you trivia buffs!) Am I wandering off thread....? :lol:
