What? No mag check??

I have flown in DC 6`s but never had the chance to fly in a Connie. What a nice looking ship. That was when flying was a treat. I remember flying United on DC 6 `s they had a great breakfest, that included four Winstons. I guess we will never see that kind of service again.

One of the prettiest airplanes ever built.

@henerymag indubitably...

@henerymag Yeah, and give everyone around you a good dose of lung cancer. Smoking is a filthy, disgusting habit.
-
One thing about flying in those days that was nasty was all that smoking.
-
Funny how everything was manualy operated, the margins for errors were too great for my taste. But hey, it was old days.
-
Were black people allowed on those planes back then?

@redravensounds Yes Cindy, I'm glad also that I lived in that era. Life seemed much simpler and calm. I suppose those who were 64 at that time also thought the same way about their early years too. No darn airplanes making so much noise and busy noisy highways. I am glad that I witnessed the steam age of travel also, although it was all but ended then

Thank you for this incredible treat. When I watched, I felt that old pride in being an American a feeling and a spirit that seems a million years ago. A time when engineering to perfection was by slide rule, and being a passenger on an airliner was a special thing, and your mom and dressed you in your best dress. And you were treated with respect, and not like a common criminal or at best cattle. People today don't have a clue what they missed by being born too late.
Again Thanks,
Cindy
