The Delta Airlines Museum is one of the, if not the best airline museum in the world. I have been there during the Airliners International Convention and it is impressive. By the way, the Airliners International Convention 2025 will be held here again in June. I highly recommend it to any airline enthusiast. So glad to see this Delta DC-7B restored and displayed for future generations to learn and appreciate not only Delta's rich history but the airline industry overall. Thank you for sharing this video.
Those last piston/prop-liners were really something. I can vividly recall the sound of them as they landed and took off at Renfrew Aerodrome when i was a kid. Our house was down by the Lockheed hangar next to the King George V playing fields.
The thunderous roar of big radials and V-12s as they 'went around,' was terrific.
Constellations, DC 4 Skymasters, Stratocruisers, DC 3's and the more plentiful turboprops like Vangards, Viscounts, 748's, HP Heralds and the big fella's like the beautiful Brittania and my favorite when I was a wee boy,- The AW Argosy!
Argonauts with there V 12 Merlins ,and Avro Yorks with the same, sounded great, and when I lay in bed at night, I could always tell if it was either type circling above by their sound. A kind of throbbing "Wumm, wumm, wumm!"
Great stuff. Watching this brought it all back. Renfrew Aerodrome closed as an Airport in '68 (I think?) and !oved the 2.5miles to Abbotsinch RNAS station, which of course is known now as Glasgow Airport.
The terminal building at Renfrew was something to behold. With its early '50's re-inforced concrete and extensively glazed architecture. It was our 'Den' when we were kids,and the huge 'Sky-Arch' that could be seen for miles, was a big part of our towns signature. So when the Terminal was demolished to make way for a monsterously ugly Tescos, folk were a little upset. But the Sky-Arch was listed and to be kept, which was something to preserve the Airfields history at least.
Tescos demolished it and paid the fine for damaging a listed building!
Needless to say, Tesco wasnt a very popular word after that! Oh well, thats progress. 'Isnt it?'
I was an Eastern Air Lines employee for 16 years at DCA. I helped get the DC3 ready for the Air and Space Museum that is hanging from the ceiling. Love the great old birds.
Bragger 🙄🙄🙄
I think this is the one the local police captured on the plateau south of Chamberlain, South Dakota circa late 70s on a non-stop from Colombia.
flew back and forth to japan twice, DC--6 ( i think ) super connie and a B-707 as a AF brat
I have an original DAL Pilot's Operating Handbook used by a line captain when that ship was operated by Delta. This particular plane would have been flown by the bookholder back then.
You have to put the address to the delta air museum resides! I fly Delta all the time and never was told there is one! :-/! I am sure I am not the only delta fan!

Is this in Atlanta?
Yes, this occurred on a cold early morning in Atlanta. The Delta Flight Museum is on the property of the world headquarters of Delta Air Lines.
At 38:34 you said Boeing 787. It’s a 747
Whoops! Thank you for pointing out that careless error on my part, daniel aviation95.
There is nothing more forlorn looking than a perfectly capable aircraft reduced to “display status”.
Although I agree with you, Martha Krumboltz, that statement is arguably most appropriate for Concorde, in my opinion.
But better than turning her into beer cans! These aircraft are being preserved so that future generations will have the chance to see them, which isn't such a bad end. There's a video on here of a whole fleet of UAL DC-7s in the 60s torn apart waiting for final scrapping. This is a far better fate than that.
