very fast boarding...

[Slowflight4Eva]

Such class in the airlines in those days. Even the planes had "charm."

[lyub4o69]

@Slowflight4Eva I totally agree!

[perezster]

Awesome, thank you. Now I want to see that movie, Avanti.

[Blixer7]

The private jet should have had the word graphics say shank..er bank of america. All in all, great video..lol

[jeffjonesing]

How cool, my name on the side of a private jet. I new my family had money and wasn't telling me. lol

[lyub4o69]

@StealthCessnaCombats yep :)

[GuessImJustASpudBoy]

Attractive flight attendants too! Even by 1972 fashion standards.

[wtrdogg20]

Damn!m he took the flight like taking a bus!!

Private jet arrived like a cab and he just ran and ask for stopping the airplane, like a bus! LOL!!!

This video actually contains flying footage of a unique aircraft, the Piaggio PD-808. The example in the movie (of only 25 built) is the only production civilian version, in it's original blue\white scheme! The only one with the elegant pointed tail cone. All other versions featured a truncated end with a drag chute stowed inside it...

Never I imagined to see that plane in a color video!! Thanks!

4 alitalia al jfk negli anni 70...quelli si che erano gli anni d'oro di alitalia!

[blankreverse]

DC8 starting up. I think they need an air start first to do that... Lol

[TheLightSideofMusic]

[hotelgulf718]

Awesome! Great rare cameo footage of the Piaggio bizjet!

[Mensurafilms]

WOUAH very high quality video for 1970 !!

[lyub4o69]

@Mensurafilms this is part from a movie called "Avanti"... :)

[dvamateur]

@Mensurafilms Of course, in the 70's the video quality was much better, since there was no dreaded MPEG-4 compression around.

[thecuddlemoose]

How come that guy didn't have to take off his shoes and have them inspected before he got on board?

[lyub4o69]

@thecuddlemoose :) 'cause in 70s,80s and part of 90s air travel was a pleasure...

now it's a madness..:)

[MrLudos]

but what film was???

[lyub4o69]

@MrLudos "Avanti!" (1972)

[Springbok295]

One minute we see JFK then we're shown an Alitalia DC-8 at FCO(which is supposed to be JFK). The magic of editing:)

[mcdonnell220]

OUTSTANDING!! :-)

[lyub4o69]

thanks mate! i'm glad you liked it. it means a lot for me,when this comes from you! :)

[Starboard76]

Wow!!! What a score! A brilliant view of the olds International Arrivals terminal with all the original 747 operators present along with a few DC-8s and 707s.

But the Alitalia DC-8 is magnificent!! Great find man!

[lyub4o69]

I love those old days with these magnificent classic planes...I hope you enjoyed the vid! :)
