Great memories. I flew on a chartered Swissair DC-8-32 HB-IDC from ORD to ZRH and then back to ORD from LHR on HB-IDA in October 1966.

as kids every two years we would fly from zurich to NYC on TWA and/or Swissair (then onto OH for a summer month's stay with the grandparents). wonderful memories. My kid blanket is still jammed somewhere between row 12 & 13 seats, I believe. I want it back

Fantastic film, thanks. As a kid we would fly from London to Zurich by Coronado or Caravelle and then on to Bern by Balair Fokker Friendship. This film brings back so many exciting memories!
