"Out of the western sky comes the sound of a barking DC-3 ... it's Commander Wayne!"
Or so should have started the old tv series. Those of us who know Commander Wayne, know he's a throw-back (yes, but we kept him) to the golden age of air transport.
I'm sure he will spend the day in his home made DC-3 cockpit slowly traveling the old AA routes with "North to Alaska" blaring into the passenger cabin over the din of the props.
So, Happy Low Airways to you on this birthday, Commander Wayne Pierce!

Re: Commander Wayne Celebrates Birthday
OK, OK, Thanks guys. Didn't go to Disneyland, as the rain was too much. Tomorrow.
Had a nice steak dinner, and played with the Train set.
PS. Turn in those checkrides.

HB Wayne!
The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn't it be?--it is the same the angels breathe.
