The interior is full-executive type no more than 10 seats. A real beauty.

Sorry, I refuse to fly in any airplane that does not have neat graphics on the vertical stabilizer.

If they reverted to the level of customer service offered 85 years ago, more passengers would join in the celebration.

Love the 70s livery. It brings back memories of my very first Commercial flight out of KGEG. A United 727 on my way to Boot Camp in San Diego.

Should've done a 247D. Still, looks good.
