Hello to all here at DA.C ---

I thought my first post should be to say 'hey' to everyone, so here I am!!

Just found the site yesterday, and I hope to learn all I can from you guys about the hobby. My own passion for these planes comes from my first airplane flight from DCA to Florida (TPA) about 27 years ago on an Eastern DC-9-30 (all polish C/S), and as a rememberance of the trip my Aunt bought me a 727 in the Eastern white/polished C/S out of the catalog that was in the plane's seat pocket...(still have it packed away somewhere).

I'm not what you'd call a 'seasoned' flyer by any means, but I've decided to start off collecting these planes by getting one example of every plane that I've had the opportunity to fly on....I'm having a good bit of fun with it, and know that a couple of them will be hard to come by...(like the Gemini Club #5 World Airways DC-10, flew on that in '83)....my last acquisition was the new Gemini 200 A-319 in NWA livery (girlfriend flew on that, so it qualifies I guess)....

Who knows where it'll go from here, but hello.

Looking forward to it all. Cheers.
