First plane I ever rode in! Northwest Airlines from Missoula, MT to Spokane, WA to Portland, OR and ending at Seattle-Tacoma, WA. Local Red Eye. Easter weekend 1963. Return to MSO was on a DC-7 via GEG which I liked better.
My neighbor, the late Bob Combs of Miami, flew DC-6s and DC-7s to the Dominican Republic. I learned that the main difference in engines was that DC-7s were turbocharged and, at night, the flames shooting from the exhausts were remarkable.
"Did I want a Hyacinth Macaw from the D.R. for $75?"
