Tom Should Get Royalties

[acourt]

As part of our security training out here in Dallas, we reviewed a brief history of airline security. The photo below is of an unclassified TSA document outlining some of the landmark hijackings/bombings throughout airline history. Anyone recognize one of the photos?




Tom, I think you should contact the TSA and collect royalties. It's a government organization with deep pockets. That could pay for this board forever!

That would be the Calclassic DC-6 alright. Maybe Tom already knows about this? Maybe he provided the image? Maybe he is actually a secret agent? Oh, what if he is a secret double agent? What if he is actual a double secret double agent? What if he... No! Wait, I'm not done! Wait... wait... Don't carry me away.

Hi Al,

Just wait until you're in the next TSA line and see me waving you through the metal detector! I'm glad the government realizes what a valuable resource they have in my site - LOL!

I've had lots of my images "borrowed" over the years, since often they are the only clear pics of a specific propliner. Microsoft even did it once in one of their FS ads. This is the first one by the government though, AFAIK. I don't mind, although I also wouldn't mind a small reference to my web page (which MS did do)...

I'm curious about that FS ad. Do you have it still or know where to look for it?

[Tom/CalClassic]

It was on the web, and is long gone...

[leutnantwerner]

Yeah, and his traces can also be found in the helpfile of Abacus FSDS 3.5.

Thanks Tom!

Cheers
Bernie

I vaguely remember that. I was involved in the beta testing for FSDS back then, but I've since switched to GMAX for most things.

And you're welcome.
