Also, stop over at the 94th Aero Squadron (restaurant) for a WW1 feel of a french restaurant with (what appear to be) WW1 airplanes (look close enough for a restaurant, but aren't authentic)

stagecoach and a DC 3, this strange photo has been revealed by Steve to be part of a 1949 advertisement

Top photo found on http://steampunkvehicles.tumblr.com/ Steve found that this is from an advertisement that American Airlines ran in various magazines in 1949. This one is from the April 4, 1949 issue of Time.
The title reads "This month a grand old plane makes its last flight." The copy states that the DC-3 (21 passengers at 200 mph) was being replaced by the DC-6 (52 passengers at 300 mph) and the Convair CV-240 (40 passengers at 300 mph). The DC-4 (44 passengers at 227 mph) had been retired by the airline the year before.

Both found on http://redonly.tumblr.com/ if you want to learn a bit about flying wing design origin, it goes back to the mid 1930's: http://justacargal-s.blogspot.com/2011/02/burnelli-or-northrop-flying-wing.html

a time in America before politicians made everything illegal, and lawyers got filthy rich sueing everyone for everything, when a plane landed downtown

in the late 1930's in downtown Arcadia, on Baldwin Street, and no one had a hysterical fit, no one was sued til they were homeless, no one was jailed, and no one lost a job.
A mechanical problem caused the pilot to put it down so he could make a quick repair, he fixed the problem, the cops were nice enough to clear the road and he took off and went away.
What a nice place America used to be.
A 90 yr old friend of mine told me about a squadron of airplanes landing on a country road near Galveston Texas, getting refuled, and carrying on to their airfield. Nothing but a country day in the 1930's.
