Basically a promotional film about North Central Airlines. Views of the General Offices, departments, DC-9's and a lone Convair 580! The film was made in 1973. Some of the flying footage was from 1968 - check the gold "feather" behind the cockpit window.
North Central and Southern merged in 1979 to form Republic Airlines, which, in 1986, was purchased/acquired by Northwest Airlines

  • OMG, should have watched the whole thing first. $8 million for a high-tech punch card computer system (LOL). My PC probably has as much computing power...thanks for posting. Used to love the duck!

  • Glad you like it! This film was quite a find a few years back. :)

  • Do any orignal North Central employees now work at Delta?

  • Yes, I am in contact and friends with ONE that I know of. I'm sure there's more though. She's started in the GO at MSP.
