August 31, 20169 yr Maybe Mr Travolta will be your pilot... Doubt it. But I wouldn't mind it if "Viper" was my pilot, with a barrel roll here and there. Matthew Bellette

August 31, 20169 yr He defied the high and mighty of his time. He challenged Juan Trippe, Chairman of Pan Am (who wanted the 747 to be a double-decker) insisting that it be a twin-aisle single-deck aircraft. A departure from norm (and then some!) at the time. His famous "string-in-the-boardroom" demonstration to the Pan Am brass, of the 747's cabin width, is legendary. Eventually, Joe garnered a "You were right" from Mr. Trippe. Access to travel, and as a result the world, changed thanks to his insights. We should be forever thankful. Roberto Stopnicki Toronto, Canada
August 31, 20169 yr Did he ever see the PMDG 747 v1? I think he would be most pleased with what you are doing - bringing his legacy to the virtual skies for everyone to enjoy and tinker with. Sad how the heroes of the pioneer days in aviation are leaving us eventually. "A life is like a garden.
