Yes, this 1957 educational film on air transportation is indeed "chock-full of wonderful vintage aviation images!" Looks like most of the airport footage was shot at Kansas City Downtown Airport. I'm curious as to what type of apparent executive, four engine, propeller aircraft is seen flying at 13:15? Thanks for sharing!
The airplane is a Cessna Model 620. From Wikipedia: "The Cessna Model 620 was a prototype American pressurized eight to 10 seat business airplane powered by four piston engines and built by Cessna. The first flight was on 11 August 1956. Only one example (c/n 620, N620E) was built."
@@WAL_DC-6B : You're welcome! 👍 I have to confess that I had to do a Google image search in order to identify it. 😀 I'd never heard of it before. From reading about it, after doing a Google search, it seems like it was an interesting airplane.
