    Oh yes! I love that stuff! I remember getting DC-8 and 707 models when I was a kid as well as the original Bacnmann Mini Planes and playing with them for hours on end after seeing old airline ops on tv. Those were the days!

    That was excellent! I love to watch vintage films such as this. It reminds me of how much I have always loved aviation and why I still do. Now off to fly my United DC-8 which was one of my favorite models as a kid. Great paint scheme!

    Funny, yes it hits that golden nostalgia sweet spot in some of us. It was all so shiny, new and changing then. Love the style and format of the film. Men wore hats - with their crew cuts - and thin ties. Reminds me of the many "official" documentary films shown in class in elementary school (US) with the 16mm projector fan blowing loudly in the back like an APU, lol. Takes you back. Great stuff.
    Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.

    The Federal Aviation AGENCY was a great outfit to work for. When LBJ made us the Federal Aviation ADMINISTRATION under the DOT, the bloom began to fade.
