Why should they want to provide a shot of the 747 cabin to someone whose user name is '767lover'?;-) Oh, and Dirk: Don't forget to sign each post with your name (or put it in your signature).

That it was. There was a killer dirt airstrip nearby and once I got my PPL it would have been the PERFECT place to keep a PC-6 Portyer or something similar -- like a 747-400 . . . okay maybe not . . . . but the image that just ran through my head will make for some interesting dreams this night.

Although I do push in!jon

Sounds reasonable.Thanks,Dirk

Actually I think it would be more a "loss of cabin" pressure.

Pretty amazing how this thread has gotten so long without a single picture of the cabin. I don't really care about the cabin, but a thread this long should at least satisfy the man's request with a picture.

:-lol:-lol:-lol:-lol:-lolAlt print screen it's difficult ;-)
