The flight really did happen. I was 6 years old at the time. So the positioning of ground crew was based on looking at pictures from that era more than actual memory.

This video has now been out for 3 years now. The biggest surprise has been the pleasant emotional response people had had from watching it.

I can't find a good B377 Stratoliner :( I love vintage craft, nice vid

Aerosoft is getting to release one and everyone who's seen it (not me) says it's incredible.

I had the wrong developer listed. It's A2A Simulations (formerly Shockwave) that's coming out with a B377.

Thanks for the memories!!! My Dad used to work for Western Airlines, "The only way to fly", I just loved to fly with the old pistons. You could enjoy the flight at lower altitudes and see more scenary. Every summer from Denver Stapleton airfield to Minneapolis then jump from a DC-7 on to a Convair 440 to Chicago or Wausau, WI. I have been hooked on aviation every sence. Thanks again!!

Cool video, reminds of the first airline trip I can remember at age 5, was in 1961, Continental Viscount from Albuquerque to Dallas, Delta DC-7 from Dallas to New Orleans, Southern Convair from New Orleans to Mobile. Took all day to do it, flying was an exciting adventure back then especially for a kid. Now days I dread having to get on another Regional Jet to get somewhere, lol. Thanks for bringing back some good memories!
