Stop in for a cup of coffee

Puddle jumper flight years ago. The door was open the whole flight and I could see him adjust every few min. and feel the plane nose down.
I took a flight from Gallup New Mexico to Denver Co, in 1980, and the guy who sold me the ticket, was the same that checked my bag, that welcomed onto the flight, and who flew the plane, and served drinks!!! Middle of a blizzard.....
