That scenery has to be on the way to Whitney for some of us. Except that I am in Raleigh right now. But what's that (better, who's that) on top of the plane?

The most famous stunt with a 707 was Tex Johnston doing a barrel roll, not exactly expected on demo day for a commercial passenger airliner. But he was in the pilots seat.

WHy is this still listed as active: I thought it was nailed long ago (not be me) as the Lone Pine Film Museum, housing not only Nudies" 75 Eldo but our own camera obscura. :confused:

I was waiting for the event. It seemed to be related to our camera, but no one, including me, named it.

Good job, salty. I was thinking maybe "movie set" but explored for other faux neighborhoods and understand your reference to fortresses. It took longer to figure out where Jerry and Tony came in. Or don't, although they are more relevant than the Space Needle.

This one is a real treasure. I landed in a similar spot once as this man with three first names. Lots of supposed firsts on this trip (although more like first in literature, than in reality), one sheepish, another quite Modest, maybe seven in all.

Nice obscure answer but with sufficient clues. We've seen the guy before. Did you recognize the picture, or something in it?

A few key words in combination narrowed it down: more synonyms for journey than I had imagined, but the animal was easy. Its still a surprisingly popular story, and the title is characteristically literal, so the hits weren't that long in coming.
