A few kind words from Judy McKay -
Greetings!
I’ve been a subscriber of the NetLetter since 1995 and applaud all your efforts.
I’m particularly impressed with 3 of the articles in NetLetter #1538 - I consider them human interest stories.
Hopefully, more subscribers will send you more human interest stories.
Sincerely,
Judy McKay Editors' Note: Obviously, we agree with Judy's last comment!

Ralph Webb sent in the following comments on Wayne's article in NetLetter #1538 -
Gentlemen,
I was interested in your short article on the Boeing 757 in the most recent NetLetter.
I have always thought that Boeing missed the boat on this aircraft as had they put the development into re-engining and updating it as they did on the B-737-8, they may have avoided the issues that that airframe presented and the huge expense associated with it.
To clarify a point, the Boeing 757 with the Rolls-Royce RB211 engines was operated by Harmony Airways, a company operating out of Vancouver for five years in the early 2000's.
Ralph Webb,
Retired CP/AC

Remember the Douglas DC-5 – the forgotten aircraft.
In the end, only 12 Douglas DC-5's were ever built, of which four went to KLM, three to the US Navy, and four to the US Marine Corps. Following the war, production of the Douglas DC-5 never resumed as there was a massive surplus of C-47's, a military version of the Douglas DC-3 aircraft.
