wow, I had forgotten about AI ... I wouldn't be surprised, though, if I still have the four or five issues they published, stashed away in some box or footlocker or something in the attic of my house in Seattle

I actually sent them a trip report and some black-and-white photos from my LGA-EWB-HYA flight (Mar 73) on an Air New England DC-3 and the subsequent BOS-BWI flight on a Delta 880 ... never got an acknowledgement that they had even received the stuff, and of course never saw anything in print ... when I get back home (hopefully later this year) I will see if the pix are still in decent shape, and try to figure out how to post them
