707 panel or window seat? The guys of that era that i know from both carriers spent years as FE's. Maybe some where lucky. And the Connie, yes too cool. The old guy that gave me my SAAB checkride at Eagle years ago had a Connie type rating. I was going on about how cool it was and he said "that in today's world having a connie type was like knowing how to give a dinosaur an enima..... neither one of them does you any good."
