Welcome!

Letter From Kentucky: The mailbox is full this month. Danny Mortensen joins our Correspondent Corps with details of his fabulous new/old airplane. See "Waco."

A 5 place, radial-engined bi-winger, it's a glorious old "Big Bird" that will turn heads everywhere it goes. This is what the corporate executives were ordering back in the Golden Age.

Enjoy.

..and..

A Letter From New Jersey. Bob Button takes a fond look back at his old friend, Russian Cosmonaut, Alexei Leonov, the first man to "walk in space." Bob was there later when Leonov, Tom Stafford, Vance Brand, Deke Slayton and Valeri Kubasov prepared for and flew the Apollo-Soyuz mission. Bob's retrospective, Alexei Leonov, will stir some memories of your own.

Meanwhile..

Be sure to check News Pix. You won't believe it.


Finally, why not look through our Feature Index to see if there's a story of interest to you even though it may have been published some months ago? There's a large volume and the subjects are varied.

As always, I'm very glad you dropped by. Come back often.



CALENDAR BULLETINS:

Welcome to Jim Slade's Air Lines, a publication dedicated to classic old flying machines
and the people who love them. After forty years of covering the space program on the
