My grandmother, Anna Pereksta Popp just before taking her first airplane ride, c. 1961. She was flying from upstate New York to the West Coast to see her son and his family.

That's so good someone took a photo!
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine taking that little bitty plane across the country? Wonder how long that took?
ReplyDeleteDid she ever tell you about the flight? Was she nervous that first time flying? She looks happy and confident in the photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo! The flight must have been a real adventure.
ReplyDeleteI love this photo. There is something about old airplane pictures that just captures the imagination.
