Sopwith Pup was on display at the La Jolla Motor Car Classic








If you are ever in San Diego, I recommend highly the Air and Space museum here... it has a lot of WW1 and WW2 aircraft, including the Ryan X-13 vertical take off jet
Also, stop over at the 94th Aero Squadron (restaurant) for a WW1 feel of a french restaurant with (what appear to be) WW1 airplanes (look close enough for a restaurant, but aren't authentic)

stagecoach and a DC 3, this strange photo has been revealed by Steve to be part of a 1949 advertisement



Steve found that this is from an advertisement that American Airlines ran in various magazines in 1949. This one is from the April 4, 1949 issue of Time.
The title reads "This month a grand old plane makes its last flight." The copy states that the DC-3 (21 passengers at 200 mph) was being replaced by the DC-6 (52 passengers at 300 mph) and the Convair CV-240 (40 passengers at 300 mph). The DC-4 (44 passengers at 227 mph) had been retired by the airline the year before.
