Default Good one

Hi Tony

Enjoyed the video, my first plane ride was on a DC7 in 1956 or 1957 was either Eastern or American airlines, Hartford, CT to Washington DC.

I thought it was great but my brother who was with me hated it and never flew if he could help it. But then again he went on to work in aero space in the sixties which may explain his dislike for flying, maybe as an engineer he knows that there really nothing holding those flying machines in the air.

Have a friend who is working on the Lockheed Super G Constellation for Lufthansa, when it makes it's first flight I'm sure he will send me the video, which I'll share.

Cheers Phil
