Those are some great photos! East African VC-10! How about that Ecuatoriana 707 HC-BDP with the ‘Calder-like’ paint design, any info on that one? Was that a Calder design?

3

Great shots! Awesome to see the Galaxy 990. I was lucky enough to jumpseat on N990E before Galaxy was shut down. Also nice to see a couple of Mid Pac photos. I worked for Mid Pac for a couple of years.

Great photos David, thanks for the trip down memory lane.

My pleasure. I’m glad you guys enjoy the pictures.

I’ve enjoyed scanning the slides for uploading. It’s been many years since I’ve looked at these. I’d forgotten what I had!

6

Just out of curiosity, how are you scanning the slides? Flat-bed adapter?

I’ve got a Nikon Coolscan V ED film and slide scanner that I treasure, but scanning my slide and film library is tedious in the extreme and I’ve barely made a dent in what’s available.

7

Flat bed scanner - Canon 4200F. It has a film adapter that holds 2 slides maximum. It is tedious to scan the slides. Taking into account verifying and renaming the slides after scanning, it takes about 3-5 minutes for 2 slides.

Would love to get a a more modern scanner - this one was purchased in 2006. However, I don’t use the scanner that much so I really can’t justify a new one when this one works perfectly fine.

Not to steal David’s thunder, but I just stumbled onto an interesting site featuring scanned images of airline postcards. Lots of old birds.

airlinepostcarddatabase.com

Great postcards!

Needle…that was one helluva find…wow…the good days of commercial aviation.

11

I have that same scanner with the two slide adapter, which is exactly why I bought the Nikon in hopes of reducing my workload.

My hats off to you Dave for having the patience to scan all those slides.

12

Thanks. I’ve enjoyed scanning them. These pictures bring back memories of the times when flying commercially was exciting and not the hassle it is today.

A few more pictures to be uploaded tonight then I take a break. Got a business trip tomorrow and I doubt my boss would allow me to scan during the (boring) meeting. :slight_smile:

You’ve got some good ones there David… :wink:

These two in particular were taken at PHX:

American DC-7 N357AA and American B727-223A N879AA

Two different eras and two different airport configurations respectively. But both are taken essentially viewing southward with the eastern end of the South Mtn. ridgeline in view.

Thanks for the update!

I’m new here. Can I get a link to these pictures?

Today’s uploads are mostly pictures I took in Hawaii in the 1980s.

Honolulu:
Can you remember when it was okay to walk on the general aviation ramp of a major airport? I do. The pictures below were all taken on the GA side of HNL. Now it is all fenced in and you’d probably get shot if you took pictures through the fence.
