SCENES

IN FLIGHT, NOVEMBER

PHOTO BY DANNY FULGENCIO

In September, Advocate photo editor Danny Fulgencio took a 45-minute joyride on Flagship Detroit, the oldest flying DC-3 in the world. From the plane, he snapped pictures of our neighborhood and helped a crew of local school children celebrate Girls in Aviation Day. We published two photos in our November issue and a slew of others on our blog, but one picture was not released — until now. This shot features Helen Adair, a docent at the Frontiers of Flight Museum. If her face looks familiar, it’s probably because she appeared in a previous issue of Preston Hollow Advocate. In 2012, Adair spoke to us about her experience as a flight attendant with Braniff Airlines back when flying was still glamorous in the 1950s and 1960s. She occasionally worked on the very same DC-3 plane pictured here, which may explain her look of pure nostalgia.
