I saw Arthur Godfrey pilot an Eastern Airlines Constellation.
That was a great video that really captures the era. I've got
excerpts from it he

These are gi-normous downloads, so be patient.
That's where I got the whole thing, although it's on YouTube as well.
I wonder how the real Eastern captain felt as mere copilot to the
Hollywood Eastern captain in the person of Arthur Godfrey.
He probably felt like the Captain.
I also wonder whom the film targeted, since I don't recall hearing
about it before, and I can't find many references to it.
