Well worth seeing though, especially to compare the differences in airline travel atmosphere between then and now. Well, I sat up until 0500 watching it this morning on AMC and enjoyed it as well. Whoever previously said it was the inspiration for Airplane sure pegged it. As for the nature of airline travel in those days, I suspect it wasn't all that far off. I can sure remember things like flight officers touring the cabin from time to time and kids (and even not so young types) were regularly invited into the cockpit. My earliest memory of an ATC facility was on Lajes Field in the Azores around 1961 or 1962. There were definitely monochromatic CRT screens in the dark little room under the tower. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN VE
