I could see you walking through the aisles and I could feel the rich and extravagant atmosphere. Yet, like you, I would not have been able to afford to fly had I essentially the same resources available to me then as I do now. A lovely story, Richard. Thank you! Chloe Hi, Richard,

Oh, how I longed to be on that plane with you as you spoke of gentlemen in hats and the days when manners meant so much.

Yet, like you, I would not have been able to afford to fly had I essentially the same resources available to me then as I do now.

A lovely story, Richard. Thank you!

Your recreation of a trans-Pacific flight was incredibly detailed. The highest complement I can give you is that I could see every detail in my mind's eye that you described. I have enjoyed all of your Podcasts, but, so far, this one is my favorite. Your word pictures are simply amazing. Your recreation of a trans-Pacific flight was incredibly detailed.

I just want to add that there is a Clipper exhibit at SFO in the international terminal. You can see a real propeller from a Clipper. In October there'll be a whole Pan Am exhibit there. So... if you're ever bored while waiting for a flight at SFO, head over to the museum. Great work, R. I just want to add that there is a Clipper exhibit at SFO in the international terminal.
