Koskinen and Vivienne steal a World War One Centennial Commission De Havilland bomber because the planes are unguarded, they can be easily dodged by anyone with radar and they have no autopilots that could be remotely controlled by the police.
"The Hudson gleamed between hills that were infinitely many hues of green, under a blue sky and scudding white clouds. There must be an answer to his dilemma - in such a world!
"There was. He saw it with wonder." (p. 140)
That is a moment of realization.
Only one sense but three colors: green, blue and white, the three that I think could be in a Terrestrial tricolor. (Scroll down.)
"Flight to Forever" is set near Hudson and a river so is that the Hudson River?
(My mother knew a member of the De Havilland family through church in the 1960s and '70s.)

Kaor, Paul!
I'm surprised even antiquated, obsolete planes would be left unguarded. After all, you wouldn't want anyone not qualified to handle them fooling around with such planes. I would have kept them at least in a locked hangar with alarms and checked from time to time via a security camera.
