All very nice!! You are one of the few people I know who can make an overhead rump shot work, and the last one reminds me of the time I flew out of Resolute Bay in a DC-4 (Northstar?). I'm not sure it was standard procedure but while on the tarmac there was a strut under the tail that was used to support the rear of the plane. Unfortunately, after boarding several of us had to move forward because the strut could not be released! Interesting times (1963) indeed.
