Mark--

 You might want to put this on the weekly blog--it was copied from retired pilot site--The person responsible flew many hours in a DC-6 and -7 in all 3 seats. Evidently Delta has lost its compass regarding its early growth ancestry. Not good for a historical museum.

 Capt. Doug Rounds-Retired

“Today in the mail a flier arrived from Delta soliciting donations for Bricks to be placed at the renovated Delta Flight Museum. On the flier was a artist rendition of a DC-7. Well, the picture is not a DC-7. It is a DC-6 with airbrush goofs. First a radar dome was airbrushed on the regular DC-6 nose, Then three windows were airbrushed in front of the wing. A DC-7 only had two windows forward of the wing. And the final was not airbrushed--it featured the original DC-6 the artist began with the usual R-2800's with 3 bladed props. Makes one wonder how much artistic license has been taken with the rest of the museum and who the real historian is.”
