It looks like only three L-1011's are still flying. Too bad.

This has me puzzled. The "rack" holding the bike looks like a permanent fixture so I don't think he's flying the plane somewhere and biking back. Since the pilot sits in the rear seat on some of these early planes maybe he flies the bike and dispatch rider to a far location and the rider/bike go the rest of the way to where the plane can't. I'm guessing.

Meh. All those pictured luxuries are still very much available. Just pay $4,700 a ticket. (That was the average cost of an off-season, round trip from NYC to London in 1950... after being adjusted for inflation.)

Seems to me the turbulence from the open frame would have a higher penalty then a simple coverings weight.
Plus freezing your nuts off.

From Wikipedia:
"Savage Bobber A Savage Cub with an uncovered open-frame fuselage designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules including a maximum gross weight of 472.5 kg (1,042 lb). The baggage compartment is a fabric or leather bag strapped to the airframe." Sort of explains he what, but not the why. |

Towing down the highway. Not even a wide load flag car behind it.

I was intrigued by the Guppy/Superguppy when I was young.
And still.

Things have gotten a little more complicated since 1920...

That military-industrial complex wet dream called the F-35 is assembled from parts sourced all over the world. About 850 of them from Turkey.
Not like the Warthog they're trying so hard to kill...
