John Chancellor didn't want to do it

Some viewing for a slow Friday, as things wind down: David Letterman hosting the "Late Night" fourth anniversary special, originally aired Feb. 1, 1986.  The gimmick?  He's hosting it from a TWA 747 flying from New York to Miami.  Enjoy.

:: Further to a post from the other week, someone has saved us all the trouble.  Behold, the Mission Statement Generator.

:: Finally, I wondered what became of the very first airplane on which I ever flew.  Not to worry.  Look where she lives now.
