Anyone got info or scanned chart of this period.
Thank's

Seems like they've used some of Lou's stories.  :-?
Seriously, nice catch and interesting read. Thanks! Look, they even have old DC-8 checklists.  :o

So you are looking for old enroute charts or something?

Yep my VA got classic route so would be nice to have chart and info at that time.
For now I go to http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/ uncheck RNAV and do my flight at maximum of FL 33000
In the same blog you can find really great stuff: here KJFK SID and STAR in 70"
http://propspistonsandoldairliners.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-york-metroplex-procedure-plan-1970.html
but there is other chart.
I hope that someone start to write book and do some reserch on all this subject maybe Lou can do it ;)

Lou doesn't have to do research, he is the research object.  :D I'm sure he can tell you how the old routings differed from the current ones.
I remember the thing with the Ocean Stations for example, although those could indeed have happened a bit before his time, but the remains in knowledge may have been there for longer.
But he once had that story where his captain joked around on the frequency calling for the station, right?

Now how cool is that? Look at those! Thanks for the link again.  :)

Do you fly the B377 too? Would be a nice addition if you are that much into history and the first commercial Atlantic services for example.

I haven't read this one but i shure i keep riding the 44 page time to time.
I think would be nice if He can start a blog or we can do it for him so everybody can read easly instad going through 44 page to read all his story.


Unfortunately I don't have much time to cross the pond but when kids will grow I shure my spare time will follow ;)
No I haven't try this one B377 but I wold like to to enjoy the C47, also be inspired by www.icepilots.com

Ah, I see, you are up for adventures.  :) Nice direction.
