Halcyon days.

Last time I experienced that I was on a flight from Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C.

On a propeller driven DC-6B!

Convair prop planes used to fly around this neck of the woods before airlines became all jet.

I flew the Constellation a few times, which I still think is one of the most beautiful planes ever built.
