Default New Old school video TWA

I just watched this old video thanks to APC. I think it is worth the download.
For those who didn't know it was there:

As a young boy, I flew on a Super Connie from Paris to New York. IMO, one of the most beautuful looking airplanes to ever grace the skies.

Default Maybe its just me......

After watching the TWA video several times it sure looks
like a great job back then. Flying in a 3 man cockpit, great view
of the USA, Lots of money and time off.

Sure a lot different flying today with the TSA, 80 hour months,
rag tag passengers, noisy,cheap hotels.

Not sure where the class went but this job is just barely 1 step
in front of the Greyhound road warriors.

Oh well, that's why they call it the "good old days"

"Two great airlines, one great future". For only one of them. Sad to watch and see the TWA livery again. Skynazis.

The part about NDB navigation was my favorite part. Since this video is fifteen minutes long and way too long to be a commerical, where would the flying public see this?

Newsreel or short in a movie theater?
