There was even a vintage civilian airliner there. Check out this Martin 4-0-4 in classic Eastern Airlines colors. The interior was also beautifully restored to vintage.

This is the Boeing 247, the airliner that began the trend towards monoplane construction. It also sparked the Douglas company into building the DC-series of airliners. Douglas went on to dominate the civil airliner market until the jet age. I hear Boeing eventually caught up though.................. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Smile' />

Last for today is this rare bird. This is a Northrop Alpha. The Alpha was a hi-speed mail and passenger (only 2, maybe 3, passengers) plane developed from their race planes of the 1930's.

This site, and Airliners.net, two of my favorite websites! And contrary to the name "Airliners.net" they also cover military, private, and rotary-winged aircraft.
