Rare low res Cabin View looking aft in US Navy VR-57 Skytrain II 159114 (Code RX-114) In-Flight between Monterey CA (KMRY) and Boeing Field Seattle WA (KBFI). Students from DRMEC, Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) Monterey, were going on a visit to Boeing Renton, WA. The flight to Boeing Field, which passed over Mt St Helens and near Mt Ranier, took 1.6 hours. The front half of the aircraft had empty pallets on the floor, and the rear had airliner seats for about 50 passengers. The Reserve Pilots must have had a bit of 'Nose-Down' Trim selected. Apologies for the low quality of this 1989 photo.
