Well, better than an outside toilet :-) Now come on, every one likes flying - it's crashing that people don't like. What other form of travel could bang on about how safe it is and insist that people depart from something called a 'terminal'? The DC-3 comes from an age where people flew planes, not computers. An age where you spent more time on the plane than you did in departure and customs. Those were the days.... Chocks away, Biggles
