The jet statement is incorrect United had been flying in and out of the islands using DC8s since 59. The DC8 was a very hot airliner capable of sustained 500 plus mph.

PRECISELY. I worked for Air Canada until 1962 (Then Trans-Canada) in Cleveland and they were flying DC-8s and so were the other guys (either 8s or Boeing 707s)
Don’t know how or why Corsi would miss that one.
