Douglas DC-7B Flight, February 22, 2012

February 22, 2012 - Jeff Skiles and Sully Sullenberger take you inside the cockpit of Historical Flight Foundation's DC-7B as they learn to fly the vintage airliner and earn their second-in-command type ratings.

The last of the DC7-Cs rolled off the Santa Monica assembly line in June, 1959. It was an extended range intercontinental version. Great aircraft! Douglas was king.

The airlines actually gave you service & space back then! This clip on the DC-7 will have you grinning from ear to ear
