history
- Our Flying Cloud was built in Santa Fe Springs, California around 1962. Airstream manufactured the Flying Cloud model from 1950-1963, so this one was the end of the line.
- It was originally registered as #11229 in the Wally Byam Caravan Club International, or so we have heard.
- We took over this blog along with the trailer from the previous owners. We are the Flying Cloud's fifth owners.

I launched a comprehensive Internet search for the perfect stainless steel hooks to match the interior. We are now hooked up. Whew, what a relief. Here are two:
