I flew a few times out of Wings Field, North Philly to Philly International. (at that time it was just one old terminal at the opposite side of the runway).
Went to "board" with the family, well, walked up the semi-ladder and into the Tri-lander. It was like being measured for a coffin. The wife was seriously scared and the kids loved it. Then it was bump, rattle, our way down to Philly following the "Surekill" expressway before landing at Philly. What an experience, every time something new, lost the mid-engine once, but we knew nothing, the thing just kept flying. Better than the old Tristar which followed for sheer thrills.
