| United 108 in 1984, perhaps over Nebraska |
Tina’s Pic Story arrives for the week – Tina kindly supplies the weekly theme and we provide a picture that explains our take on that theme – which this week is Clouds...
This is a scanned view from 1984 on my way home from the L.A. Olympics on a United DC-10. Here is between LAX and Chicago. Only about 100 passengers, two aisles, a seat by the door, no bathroom lines, you could buy something from the bar cart at the bulkhead. It was undoubtedly the best flight ever.
I chose this cloudy view because the ride was so smooth because the clouds were down there - not up here (fewer clouds = better ride). With the Pentax on hand all those years ago, I captured a frame that meets the weekly theme in 2012. Thanks for the memories :)

What a wonderful feeling to be above the clouds.
Those were the good old days of flying, not like it is now. I used to fly between Anchorage and Atlanta in the mid eighties and it was always pleasant. Love those clouds.
And thank you for sharing.
Sometimes memories becomes even brighter and better.
