Oh that's nice. We live in an era when anything older than a month is assumed to have been a bad idea. Or an unworkable design. Or just plain sucks. I love it when a so-called obsolete piece of technology shows that it still works just fine. And each time it does, it's a pat on the back to the designers, engineers, and craftsmen who originally brought it to life. And a shock to those who must always be new...
 
I've got an HP tablet from 2003 that is constantly mistaken for the new Ipad.I tell them no, this is a REAL computer.Nice shot up there, that image could have easily passed for being shot 50 years ago.
 
Nice to see it flyable. The last one around here did duty as a unique restaurant at the north end of YYZ until about ten years ago.
