Default Re: NEW RELEASE: 1:250 Gemini Jets American Airlines DC-3-277B

I, too, may get this simply because my first flight was as a baby on this type of plane. My mother was flying from KSDF to KELP to join my father at Ft Bliss where he was assigned to work with the German and US rocket scientist and the captured V 2s. This was the beginning of the US Space program, and I spent my first few years playing with German youngsters who didn't speak much English. It was never a problem for us kids. We were teaching our parents a lesson about a new world, as they were the rest of us...
