AWESOME footage of "La Belle, Caravelle".
Without question, one of the most beautiful jetliners ever built.
Great footage of the prototype UAL "Demonstrator" with the "Black button" nose, and early production models (White nose).
Watch for a Pan Am DC-8 too!

Flew on a United Airlines Caravelle from Toledo to Chicago on the first leg of being on my way to Vietnam in 1968. The cargo door came open after takeoff and we made an emergency landing back in Toledo. Not a good beginning! LOL. It was small inside and really a piece of crap. The DC-9 is and was much better.

@pump066 Aaaah! Citroen! We knew a family in Italy (close to Bologna). The father owned a Citroen DS in the correct colour (black, of course). From then, back in the mid-seventies, to now my all-over favourite car.

@eltfell I did my first jet travel in a Caravelle and in the 60's it was used by almost all
companies.Flew with SAS,Finnair,Sterling,Austrian,Alitalia,Sabena and AirFrance and
the Caravelle was wonderful to fly.Still remember the seats being like a Citroen-armchairs.

For those, who didn't get the chance to be aboard such an aircraft, s/he can go to Copenhagen, Denmark. In the proximity of Copenhagen in a museum is a Caravelle in full SAS colours, with interior. Plus you can walk around in it (as of 2004).

@philippedu13 Maybe to the naked eye, but there are few if any similarities beyond the fact they both had two engines.
