I am a retired airline pilot and got to fly the 727 as a flight engineer and the 737-100/200 series as a first officer early in my career. My first ever airline flight before I became a pilot was on a United DC8 from Boston to Las Vegas. Your knowledge of these old aircraft is very impressive.
Thank you, I am glad you enjoy my videos. DC-8 to LAS that isa great first flight.
2:51 in the back u can see a American Airlines 727 that still has its astrojet livery pirated on him!
Nice video!
2:39 Eastern was in the French connection
I was hoping to see PanAm 707's and a 747 Queen of the Sky from JFK...
Sorry about that
Nice job, I flew Braniff DC-8 as a pax in the 70's. I was a kid but loved airplanes.
Great memories you have, I am a life long aviation fan.
What was great about that era was the noise that beautiful noise of jet engines and the smoke that helped the environment
That is how planes were back then.
The NE livery, designed by Raymond Loewy, is one of the very best. 14:22 Loewy also did TWA and Air Force One’s liveries. I can still hear NorthEast’s pitchman urging frozen New Yorkers to “come on down” to Sunny (and warm) Florida.
The artistic people that created the classic airline memories of yesterday year are pretty much forgotten as almost nobody knows who they are nor the advertising agencies they worked for. So it’s nice that you named one here I appreciate that.
The DC-8 behind the nose of the Braniffs is Loftleidir Icelandic. My first trip to Europe was in early 1974, JFK>Keflavik>Luxembourg and back with them. Likely that same aircraft.
3:10, Both of my parents worked for National Airlines from 1950 -1978. My father could have very well been the Captain of that B727 in this photo. I love seeing National Airlines, I miss it.
Wow!! That is a lovely thought👍👍
Absolutely love the united d c eight. Flew that one in nineteen seventy seven. P d x to d c a. It could suck down A thousand gallons in twenty minutes.
Well done. This ORD area old timer took his first flight in 1975 on a UA DC-8 "stretch" ORD-SFO. Flying these days is NOT the same.
Yes that would be another stretch DC-8 United route. Very nice memory!
In summer 1972, my family (I was only 8 years old) went from upstate NY to LGA on Mohawk, then New York Airways helicopter to JFK, then to the UK - and then a few weeks later the reverse direction. I still have some (short) memories of part of it - it was BOAC to/from the UK, 747 on the way there, VC-10 on the way back. I have distinct memories of the helicopter part. Thanks for the pictures of Mohawk in LaGuardia. I always wondered where Mohawk was located, and now I know.
My pleasure I’m so glad you enjoyed this little video that I put together. thank you for sharing your memories of your early flights. It’s always nice to hear reports like this from fellow aviation fans. It sounds like you’re about the same age as me. I was born in 1964.
The Eastern Electra was LGA.
Great to see my boyhood favorites. My Dad was a Northeast 727 pilot. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was before my time but wish I could've seen these in person.
Nice to see the NWA 707, flew that many times from TKO to SEA back in the day. And the Convair 880M I flew on Cathay Pacific .
You had some really great flights back in the late 60s and early 1970s you’re lucky. Did you take a lot of colors slides of the aircraft that you were flying on?
@@JetFlix those days I was very young boy. My father was with US Embassy so we traveled a lot. I love your channel brings back memories when traveling was special and no fights on board the plane. Thanks 🙏
These are beautiful shots... Before the major airline Pilot job, I hung on the cyclone fence. Back then, you didn't just hop into the latest. You paid your dues and if you made it through alive, you had a shot at it. I flew the convert five eighty. What a ground pounder
I am not a pilot, just a passenger. My first flight took place on March 25, 1964 in a "FAUCETT" DOUGLAS DC-6B, from Lima to Iquitos (Domestic Peruvian flight) I was 14 years old now I'm 74.
What a great memory you have Alejandro .. that’s a very nice aircraft as your first flight.
I'm looking for footage of 747 refueling during the 70s. I think it is impossible they carry the claimed 52000 gallons of fuel and use 1 gallon per second of flight. The worst air disaster is partly blamed on a 747 taking on 55 tons of fuel delaying the takeoff by half an hour. 18 wheel tanker trucks at gas stations only carry 9500 gallons and can only pump at 350 gpm MAX. To put that much fuel in the plane in that short of time they would be pumping nearly 500 gpm. If you have a video showing these little 3000-5000 gallon trucks refueling one please let me know. This must be like what happened with nasa where actornot Don Petite claimed they can't go to the moon because they destroyed that technology. They must have lost that amazing pumping tech from the 70s as well.
I have no such footage sorry
1972 was the year of my very first flight. An Eastern Airlines Whisperjet BOS-MCO. Guess where we were going? They just opened a year or 2 before...
That’s amazing. What a nice memory that you have your first visit to Disney World when it was brand new.
At first, I was like, "this is just stills? No film footage?" but I love vintage aviation from 1960s to the 1980s and found myself hooked on the content and your enthusiastic description of each photo. Love this stuff! Moments from distant yesteryear captured on film. On reflection, the early 70s were the sweet spot of airliner evolution. It was when the most interesting designs were still relatively new and liveries were the result of a very distinctive rationalized Modernist graphic design. One of my best memories from childhood was watching those Braniff "Flying Colors" 727s taking off while visiting Florida in the early 80's. Liked and subscribed!
Thank you so much Vibe I very much appreciate your kind comment and subscribing to my channel. Yes, I’m a collector of vintage aircraft slide so when I get groups of slides that are common to a theme, and can make a video like this one, I do present them, even though they’re still images. It is not too often that I do get these sets of slides so you’re right, they do have to have a special meaning from a special era like these. I did a similar presentation on YVR Vancouver BC airport (my hometown airport) in the late 1950s and it was quite well received by the viewers. Thank you for your support and wishing you all the best.
@@JetFlix Excellent! I will check out that video!
Henry, good to see you are still up and running. I enjoyed the military get together at Abbotsford BC, though it seemed awfully tight for parking and a pretty rainy weekend. Gordon Squire
Glad you made it out to the event as well Gordon .. we are the diehards.
Isn't that Trans International Airlines 727 the one that was used in the original, The Out of towners movie with Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis ?
I was not aware of this, but it certainly could be. Thank you for commenting about this.
I flew Seaboard from cam ranh bay Vietnam. I hated that airline.
Was was it the bad in-flight service that was terrible .. or the bad memories of going on tour in Vietnam that are associated with the airline?
@@JetFlix seaboard was a railroad company that saw dollar signs with the moving of troops.
The stewardess were very nice in the service and on the eyes. That was over 52 year ago. I came back to a terrible situation with a wife. We divorced VERY shortly after I got home so truthfully I don't remember. It had to be ok because I don't have any negative memories. I do remember sitting in Yukota Air Force base for 8 hours to allow the pilots time to rest.
My camera at that time was a Kodak instamatic a very popular cheap camera. I also did not know how to take pictures so some were blurred.
Patrick
...please some cargo Canadair CL44, I used to work at an Argentinan cargo airline, Transporte Aereo Rioplatense
I’m very sorry, but I did not have an image of that particular aircraft to contribute to this presentation.
Added a 👍. Been a NYer most of my life so have flown out of LGA, JFK, ISP and EWR. I enjoyed your running commentary.
Awesome! Thank you Chris😎😎👍👍
@@JetFlix ✔
Great video! I could see a Viasa DC8 in the background at the very end, my home country long gone airline
Oh nice!
747 must’ve been quite a sight in those days. it’s in a whole different league than the planes you’ve just shown.
Yes, the 747 and widebody airline travel was in its infancy in the early 70s and very much novelty for most passengers.
The United "stars and hockey stick " livery, time stamp 3:34, was their best.❤ Wish that they would go back to using it. At time stamp 7:56, is an airline known as Seaboard World. They, along with Flying Tigers, Evergreen International and Airlift International, were known mainly as cargo operators but they did have passenger operations as well; mainly charter and military contract flights. Deregulation set events in motion that spelled the end of these special and unique carriers. In fact I miss all of the fun, colorful airlines that made flying an enjoyable experience. We need them back....badly.😢
Yes Joyce I know these airlines too. I was born in 64 and have memories of the early 70s. Thank you for sharing your memories here.
@@JetFlix same here .I was born in 1964. I'll be 60 in October. The airline business has changed so much and not for the better. I think MORE airlines , created a healthy sense of competition and their unique styles allowed people to "Taylor" their travels to the companies that they enjoyed flying with. I usually don't advocate for government control but the industry needs to Re-regulate, so that the airlines can go back to focusing on passenger service and comfort. I remember when some airlines featured in-flight bars/ lounges and even piano players. On one Delta flight that my mother and I took to Atlanta, the flight attendant had skills as a magician and put on a show. We ALL loved it, especially the kids.🤗
The thumbnail pic alone got me excited ! That’s a great pic
Hope you liked the video too
When do people consider to be the end of the "golden age of aviation"?
This is a great question thank you for asking. For me personally, the end of the golden age would be when the final DC-8s and707s were retired in the late 70s and early 80s. These were the very first jetliners and they were the narrow body jets that were replaced by the 747s on international services. I think everybody might have their own answer to this question but for me it has to be the end of the narrow bad body, classic Jet era.
Japan Airlines livery hasn't changed much... they just got rid of the stripes and now its all white. 😄
Exactly.. saving money on paint!
EA had the Electras on backup sections as late as 1983-84. Not many, but there. Former New York Air 1983-86.
It was my understanding that Eastern Airlines had retired their last Lockheed Electra’s sometime around 1977 …
@JetFlix Memory may be off on this They may have had a few hanging around Dulles which was still a bit of a backwater in those days.. I do recall they ran the shuttle backup sections with really old aircraft.
Everybody…. don't forget the Airliner's International convention in Dallas Texas on June 21st 22nd and 23rd of 2023. You will find a lot of great gems at this function.
hello fellow enthusiast. the main reason for all the northwest aircraft at jfk was because the pilots went on strike that year and a/c were parked at their hanger awaiting a new pilot contract during MAP airline bailout.
Thank you for that fact, now it makes sense.
I remember all of them, all gone but not forgotten! Soon ill be! 😇
Hi Turkey, my prayers are with you🙏🙏🙏
First time watching your videos.Brilliant
Welcome aboard! And thank you for joining my channel.
Amazing!
Along with those NW 707s in the background, I think I see the tail of a NW 747 behind one of the hangars as well. I believe UA parked at what has been and still is the BA terminal. Guessing these shots were adjacent to it.
Have you ever looked into the best way to copy slides into high resolution digital images?
Yes, I use an Epson flat bed scanner with slide attachment and scan slides six at a time an have used the scanner for about 10 years and it works great.
@@JetFlix I started taking airliner photos around 1 years old. All at Da
Enjoyed viewing all of this. Very well put-together! It's great seeing my two favorite airline companies; Braniff and Northwest. Flew them in the sixties when my dad was in the U.S. Air Force. Military charters for families being sent over to Japan, and back again to the states. What a time that was! "Thanks" for this presentation , as I've always been interested in commercial aviation. ✈️😊
Thank you so very much for taking the time to leave a comment on my video and sharing your memories from when you were a kid flying on these great airlines back in the 60s. You are very lucky to have had those fights and those memories.
Did you take these pictures? The converse 990 was an awesome beast. People don't know this, but that was the fastest airliner except for the concord ever built. Gotta mock 93. We fly a standard mock eight today which is about fifty mile per hour slower.
No I did not take these slides. They came from another collector and I used them to make the video. I’m always looking for old slide collections for this very purpose. I was born in 1964, so I was about nine or 10 years old when these images were taken. Thank you so much for the comments and info on the Convair 880 being such a fast jet liner.
Nice catches...thumbs up and just subscribed.
Thank you very much I really appreciate that. Always great to have another hard-core aviation fan here. Wishing you all the best.
First time looking at this video. I have subscribed. Growing up by LGA and working for Northwest made this truly enjoyable to watch as well as informative. Thank you
Thank you so very much. I’m thrilled that you enjoyed my video and I very much appreciate your subscribing to my channel. Wishing you all the best.
Love to see anything you have from the early deregulation era such as New York Air, PeopleExpress, Presidential, Midwest Express etc. 1980 to 1986.
I do have a number of slides of those airlines in my collection and they would make a nice video showing that era. It’s a good recommendation. Thank you so much. I’ll have to put it on my to-do list.
I always enjoy your content Henry. Great videos!
I appreciate that thank you Douglas👍👍✈️✈️
Buen vídeo amigo. Saludos desde Madrid.
Great vlog as always! No photos of the then new 747? Keep up the good work! I started as planespotter at the age of 8. My photos are bad quality due to the $10 Kodak 100 yrs celebration camera.
Thank you for your comment I try my best to make informed and interesting videos.
5:09 - they called those 727-QC's if they were cargo-capable.
I always thought the Boeing factory cargo door installation QC designation stood for “Quick Change” .. from pax to cargo to pax.
United Airlines DC-8-61 in "Friend-Ship" livery was my first flight. Friendship Airport (BWI) nonstop to San Francisco then on to Hilo Hawaii. Eventually they replaced the DC-8s with DC-10's in the late 70s. The ol' Diesel-8 was definitely my favorite classic jetliner.
UA was flying DC-8's (with the newer high bypass turbofans) until at least the mid 80s. Delta did, too. Flew their DC-8's a few times between BOS-FLL. They were great with those large windows!
@@JM-75003 Loved the large windows! We'd get those headphones and listen to the different radio stations and watch the inflight movie. It was about 6 & 1/2 hours from San Francisco to Hilo. United Airlines really gave great service back then. They'd pass out lei's to all the passengers when we arrived in Hilo, give kids a look into the cockpit & a set of pilots wings, plus a little diecast model DC-8 to play with.. Back when flying was actually fun.
Fabulous flight memories for you.
Congratulations and many thanks to share these treasures with us.
My pleasure
Great video. Very informative. Thank you.
My pleasure
The Vietnam "conflict" was a War. I also flew Northwest Orient to Seoul Korea 1968.
By any chance did you have a camera with you and did you take any 35 mm color slides of aircraft during this era? The reason I ask is that I’m always always looking for images for future videos that I will produce..
@@JetFlix no video just stills of the wing, engines and a shadow of the plane leaving Anchorage
It's amazing to see how air travel has evolved over the decades!
Very true
