I just recently read Vol. 1 of the Great Airliners book series, about the Convair 880. Might have to go visit Graceland on my way to a train excursion in Arkansas this fall, see Elvis' 880 and JetStar before the businessmen have them towed off ... or scrapped. :cry:

I have seen them both. All I can say is.............thank God the 70's were only 10 years long. I am not sure I could have stood the décor a second longer......or the clothes, or the hair............... :lol: :lol:

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
