Want to see Eastern Air Lines fly again? You can go to the Miami Intnl airport or Charlotte's Douglas on November 18th to witness an EAL DC-7B take off from MIA that morning and land in CLT around noon. The pilots will be Capt. "Sully" Sullenberger and Jeff Skiles from "Miricle on the Hudson" fame. Reference today's Charlotte Observer for details about this flight.

thats why they built them with 4 then....reliability was not nearly as good as turbines....I trust everything went ok?
 
They need to get a big ol' bumper sticker saying, "I'd rather push a DC-7 than fly an RJ." :D

Hope all was well..nothing on CNN!

Old joke

F-16 told by tower to go around on final...B-52 behind him with an engine out.

F-16 to tower "Ahh, the dreaded 7 engine approach."
