Flew as a passenger in the 118 as a kid.

Most memorable feature...the constant noise of the four engines!

Interestingly, the prototype was actually a twin engined design.

Seen here in 1981 at Abbotsford. Currently owned and under
restoration by the Museum of Flight in Seattle.

In the pic with the jet in camo paint, what's the purpose of those hand rails on
the vertical stabilizer?...to keep from falling off when standing there?
