I worked on the Hartsfield Airport expansion project in the late 70s.
Southwest was the only carrier I saw flying DC-3 passenger planes into
Atlanta (there were a few cargo carriers using them). I thought it was
cool - they looked like new planes.


I don't think so. Southwest Airlines never operated the DC-3, and didn't
serve it's first city outside Texas until 1979 (New Orleans).
