Look at the size of those seats! The service! We’ve come so far in 60 years!

Das waren noch Zeiten! Ich vermisse die alten Zeiten wo man noch mit widebodys in den Urlaub flog.

DC-8 reg:PH-DCR

1 year later that plane crashed as mexicana 704

Fantastic video! Thanks! The only DC-8s I flew on were from Delta Air Lines: DC-8-51s ATL-IAD, ATL-LAX-SAN-LAX, and a DC-8-71 MEM-ATL, all back in the late 1960s, early and late 1970s. It was a great aircraft!

on all these flights there is ALWAYS a nervous flyer

Alot of training modules used to be like this and give you motivation and morale when in a classroom setting. When i worked for NYC transit as a teenager from 2017 to 2020 we had those old school modules and they were awesome and made the job seem so cool even as a young adult. A few years later now and in the airlines much has changed into current computer based modules with straight forward training media. Not so much awesome kicking music anymore.

2500+ hours in this beauty: A/Q/R/T…920 AREFS, 917 AREFS, 92 ARS, 98 ARS, 319 OG.

Look how big and comfy the seats are. Lovely food and drinks. Now it’s cattle class squeezed into a hard upright seat and before you’ve got to cruising altitude, it’s sell this, sell that with no peace.

1968 not 1966

Humans cant survive in environment above 120F. This is beyond physiological limit. THis was a thermal runaway event. Should have ditched.

These old guys with southern accents and stern demeanors are scary ! Lol😊

Imagine if this/these films were restored for both clarity and audio quality.

Im so sad for the kids that had died and all of the people,rest in peace

The best time to have gotten hired as a flight attendant or pilot wud have been 1978,79 tbru 1985, imagine how fast your seniority wud have risen

Ozark Airlines was our regional carrier and I'm well-acquainted with the FH-227. Many fond memories of this "workhorse" and the friendly folks at Ozark. Thank you for bringing back those memories!

I remember my 2 nd time flying on an Eastern DC-8-61 back in 1969 and landing in San Juan. This video brings back fond memories.

La clases pudiente de esa épocas

3:15💀💀💀

0:58 1:51 They look incredibe

Okay, this is actually cool. 😀

Feb 9 1965 my father was killed in Eastern Airlines flight 663

why don't we get toys like this anymore can someone explain

1:00 imagine seeing the 747 a plane that size flying that closes over your neighborhood

The L-1011 didn't enter service until April 1972.

Back in March 1982 I flew from Tokyo( Narita) to Heathrow via Moscow where it was -10 degrees in Moscow😀. On board were a stack of Kubota and Datsun Dealers. Flying across the length of Russia was incredible. Mostly snow. The DC8 on take off from Moscow was Noisy as hell with all the ashtrays vibrating just before the brakes were released, then we shot up rapidly into the air. The reason we went across Russia was that Anchorage was shut off by the snow.

When I was eight my dad took me to see the Comet, which was at De Havillands in Hatfield undergoing flight testing,. When we walked into the hangar I thought it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. We went on board, just the two of us, and sat in the Pilot/Copilot seats for some time. All of the systems were live and I remember the lights, levers and switches and the cosy blue-grey interior. I will never forget that summer evening so long ago.

133 Hercules dad.👍💪

I was around 14 when this happened! Me and my mother were going back to the US and we were stuck! Instead of flying with an American flight back to the US from Italy, we got stuck in France and had to take Air France to JFK airport in NYC

My first airplane ride was in 1975 at 7 years old to Europe in a TWA jet. We received free wing pins and TWA carry on bags. We wore our Sunday best to fly.

cool

Did it have a turbo encabulator ?

Sheeesh! I picked the wrong day to stop smoking crack..

Are those 'collars' behind the engines noise suppressors?

There's beautiful film of this airplane (or one exactly like it) complete with red wing tanks at the start of the movie "Huk" (1956) landing in the Philippines. The movie itself covers some of the history of the post WWII Communist insurgency in the Philippines, well worth watching.

They conveniently don't mention a series of accidents with Super Constellation aircraft in the early 1960s which may have led to suspention of military passenger contracts for a number of years,

I worked for Scandinavian Airlines for three years, nice airline!

Joined KLM Royal Dutch Airlines in July 1971 aged 16 and had a fantastic career based at LHR. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

This has to be the strangest documentary about a Plane crash that I've ever seen. 80 people just get obliterated and the response is, "lets bake some cookies".....OMG

First fly on World charter for Navy to Hawaii 1964 at 18yrs..thrilling!

That Bell Helicopter. Like the ones used by M*A*S*H units. My uncle owned one. He purchased it from Florida highway patrol. My uncle was an instructor. Helped teach many a person how to fly a helicopter. Even showed a Sheriff Dept. how to fly one. When the Dept. purchased one. It was a sad day for my uncle when he had to stop flying and teaching because of health issues. Could not pass the FAA medical requirements anymore.

My dad used travel alot for work and i remember he would always dress his best before heading to the airport. Every era had its challenges but i remember his time as an era where behavior, conduct, presentation, and education was of paramount importance.

Still opereted😂

The pitch up during landing flare is insane! The M2F3 looks like it tailstruck during landing.

Neat video- I lived as a kid for one year about 12 miles outside the "Rhein Main" air force base- I cringed when the narrator so badly mispronounced the name though! It's not pronounced like "Maine" the state. It's pronounced like "mine" as it that's mine!

They couldnt get bigger letters back then?

MAC charter for Vietnam US armed forces on R and R. They are going back to the war. HNL-Guam-Saigon. Those 707s were loaded to the brim! Most right at ATOG. Some severally over grossed! Those 707s were badass work horses. Love them.

04:02 Evidence Les Nessman worked dispatch prior to moving to WKRP.

She must be .... And of "normal "weight!" 😅
