Since a lot of you have been writing about your memories of EAA, - TopicsExpress



          

Since a lot of you have been writing about your memories of EAA, let me mention that I loved going to the Dar airport to watch the Dakotas take off/land. Those of you who have not seen one do so, the Dakotas rear wheel lifted off the ground first. And when parked, the aisle of the plane was at a steep (40degree?)angle to the ground. One really had to make an effort to climb in a stationary Dakota. In the 60s, people also found the time to go to the airport to see someone leave. Here is a home video from 1962. Notice the EAA staff carrying the baby to the plane? The baby would be returned to the mother after she was seated. Also notice how this pilot had a neat trick or reversing or spinning the plane? https://youtube/watch?v=BDNREy5cdXk&feature=youtu.be
