Totally concur about the 2-33, though - what were they thinking!
Hmmm - something like:
2-22

Yep, I sure wish I was going to fly to Phoenix in a nice old DC-7 this
afternoon instead of a nice new A-320, those old recips are so rugged,
reliable, and safe!

Actually, having flown in DC-7s way back in the dark ages (and Connies,
C-54s, even C-119s!), I do kinda miss them.

Sorry, I just have a hard time warming to a high-wing strutted glider
designed after something as beautiful (my opinion, I agree) as the
Blanik (the original Warsaw Pact milspec ones - with the beautiful
flush riveting, etc...).

To each his own, I suppose. Happy Thanksgiving!
