This is a dream I've had for nearly 50 years. I flew on a DC-7 from IDL to LAX and back in 1958 when I was 5 years old. My Dad flew for United and was copilot on the first DC-7 press flight from NY to SFO in 1954. Now my wife and I have signed up for 2 seats on this DC-7 from Opa Locka to the EAA convention in Oshkosh in a couple weeks. She's never flown on a propliner. She will either really dig it or hate me for 5 hours 40 minutes of noise and vibration! Thanks Carlos+Roger!
