Good ole' N5605- she was the 9th 990 off the assembly line. Flew for American '62-'67, then flew for Modern Air, Air France and Ports Of Call. She ended her flying days in 1981 and was later scrapped in Denver CO. A beautiful bird!!
hudson501's comment about "sneaking in a similar looking AA707." How about when your watching a movie or television series where the pilots are shown with 2 throttles between them but then, when they take off, their in a 3 engine B727 and when they land they're in Tristar or B747 or gawd knows what else. Geeeez, I hate those technical imperfections. The BEST, in that vain, was the 1977 movie "Airport 77." Every instrument you saw as she flew the plane was the real deal. Excellent job.
Crap! I'm disappointed that I missed the rest of the show!!!! I was 16 years old in 1963 I can remember, so well, watching My Three Sons. Darn, now I've got to run off the Best Buy to see if I can find the entire episode on DVD.
@SFConifer That's back when education meant everything... now it's hip hop and who dresses better or tougher that the other. Todays world is pathetic!!
This is a scene from " my three sons " TV from the 60's. This is the way it used to be, men with ties and women classically dressed, not like today, wish I was back in the 60's.
Good grief people, it looked like a two by three interior to me as well.....get over it....It was a nice sequence with an awesome Convair 990 in it.....Thats all that counts!!!!!!
The jet's interior was probably one that they had as a interior set at the studio where the show was shot... And really how many viewers would have noticed if it wasn't a Convair interior...
@GC0020 around 56 yrs. old. m. brittany as we all know was on DALLAS. she also played in the 1950's LASSIE, THE BIRDS, etc. not a fan but she is very pretty.****
NIce to see the producers of "My Three Sons" used American Airlines Convair 990 footage througout the exterior scenes instead of sneaking in a similar looking AA 707. I suppose American insisted probably since the CV 990 was the latest airliner to join its fleet at the time this episode of "My Three Sons" was filmed.
Awesome! It's great to see 990 product placement all the way through the footage. Usually, to save money, stock footage of three or four completely different aircraft are used for television shots.
Looks like PHX

Maybe my eyes are playing tricks, but it looks to be a 2x3 configuration to me.
