Well, maybe not the last flight. [http://www.airborneattitude.com/pdfs/1226.pdf](http://www.airborneattitude.com/pdfs/1226.pdf) Beautiful Lockheed Electra, if you happen to have an extra 300 kilobucks lying about – plus another hundred thou to complete the restoration. The toilet looks like it has bomb doors. Ah, why could I not be rich instead of good-looking? (Or at least good-looking!) ---
