    My Flight Deck is actually the forward section of Boeing 737-130. Here are a few facts about her. My sincere thanks to Ted Deller for the relentless research of her history and the collection of these photographs. And a very special thanks to Matt Ford for finding and hand picking her for me. Together they have fulfilled my wonderful dream!
