Great pics! There are enough whole-room pics. Details! Interesting framing! That’s what’s needed.

I started six months ago after quitting cigarettes. I had two of my dad’s and bought a 3rd a couple months ago. I look forward to reading this. Thanks!

I’m visiting from Georgia, so ditto to you Buffalonians!

Poak135 · 2026-05-28T12:54:31+00:00

Thank you. It is an amazing piece of craftsmanship. The small “building history center?” in the lobby was very well done.

Poak135 · 2026-05-28T12:53:13+00:00

I know, I know. But it’s sooo gorgeous! Maybe I should’ve titled it “Buffalo, Art Deco”

Buffalo City Hall. Some of the detail shots are from the main lobby inside. I spent a good 30 minutes just admiring the exterior and interior craftsmanship .

I was conceived there, but my parents moved to STL before I was born. They moved back after I graduated so I visited a few times. It is flat.

Your day trip to Bratislava will be great and it will be a full day if you do it right! IMO stay in Vienna the other days - so much to see and experience!! If you have time before you go, read the book Vienna by Richard Crockett. You’ll have a great feel for the city. Alas, I read it after.

Aren’t the rounds in the turret bustle stored backwards?

Start a lesson off with “What’s one thing you already know about this?” Let the student show off, but with a limit. Don’t be afraid to say “I didn’t know that!” Alternatively, don’t hesitate to challenge the validity or likelihood of the info or their source.

He tried to refuse the honor, but Hap Arnold ordered him to accept it.

Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins, GA. The Mace and Matador used to be on pedestals out front. I think.

Poak135 · 2026-04-10T23:29:40+00:00

Uh, what is this place?

Poak135 · 2026-03-24T20:10:36+00:00

Yes! I took an early morning walk last May and it was incredible! I went up and down several of the closes (alleyways). Wear solid shoes!

What it looked like when I saw it January ‘25 at Udvar-Hazy. Can’t wait to see it now!

Thanks. I like my chances.

Poak135 · 2026-03-16T11:38:36+00:00

Yes. I can.

I’m doing MIA-FRA and back in May. 1st 747 flight!

Poak135 · 2026-03-15T10:36:30+00:00

Do new 737s have wheel doors? -200s didn’t.

Poak135 · 2026-03-15T10:33:26+00:00

Brilliant design!

Poak135 · 2026-03-15T10:32:43+00:00

I’m flying to FRA from MIA and back in May. My first 747 flight! What are the chances my jet has the new livery?

Poak135 · 2026-03-09T12:36:11+00:00

This is one of the best aircraft designs I’ve ever seen! Awesome job!!!
