OH, LUCKY MAN!

Jon Proctor – the late aviation historian, author and “Oh Lucky Man” created a website in his later years to preserve his memories and feature his extensive airline photography collection.

We invite you to take some time to browse and enjoy a look at Jon’s illustrious life! New content will not be added to the site.
