Great photo!

The good ole DC-10. That was the plane that took us places. Sorry to see her go, but on to the modern fleets. Hope to visit this aircraft in the museum in Seattle.

The solution to last week's travel puzzle was the Fight 93 Memorial, which commemorates a plane crash on September 11, 2001. George G shares photos and memories of his visit.

The DC-10, last plane to carry the Douglas name and almost the last 3-engine jet in active service, will see its last passenger flight within the next month as Birman Bangladesh airlines replaces it with 777s. And not too long after, KLM will retire...

A recent shot of the Perseid Meteor shower taken outside Elbow Falls. This definitely is my best shot of the Milky Way yet, with a meteorite streaking over the mountains.

Ottoman visits the Swissair Memorial Site, which honors the victims of the 1998 crash, and those who risked their lives in rescue and recovery operations.

Samantha delays her first slice of New York pizza to visit another New York institution: the Fire Department

Samantha visits the memorial in New York where the Twin Towers stood, and talks with other visitors about their memories of that day.

Thanks Samantha. It really is a moving memorial. I went shortly after it was opened and it really does have lots of places to reflect.

It would be a moving memorial, and you've share it very nicely, here, thanks. The last time I was in New York the Memorial was almost (but not completely) finished, so we couldn't see it. Guess I have (yet another) excuse to return to the Big Apple.

I remember this crash. They've set up a very nice memorial and in a most beautiful and restful type place.

Samantha and her husband Gene stumbled upon this 9/11 Memorial while exploring Indianapolis, Indiana.

Canal Walk is a waterside promenade for walkers, runners, bikers and sightseers, and a steady stream of pedal boats. Samantha shares pictures from her visit.
