Luckypup Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 In November of 1960 I came back from my tour in Korea. The ship docked in San Francisco and there was a bus waiting to take us to the airport. I told the young man at the counter that I wanted to go to Kansas City. Well, it was Thanksgiving/Christmas season and all the airlines were booked up pretty tight but he routed me from SF to Dallas. In Dallas I caught a Braniff DC-3 and went to Ft. Worth, Oklahoma City, Wichita and finally KC. I remember the Braniff flight and the DC-3 quite well but my question is: What airline might have been operating a flight from SF to Dallas. All I remember is it was a four engine airliner, either a DC-4 or DC-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 United Airlines DC-7 is my best guess. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Good guess. Here is a read from 'Flying' magazine - May 1961. Relevant info is on page 84.

Rnglgdj Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Well you did it a bit different than me. I had a flight from Korea in 1958 to Cal. Hitch hike from Cal to the Pittsburgh Pa. area. That was interesting!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
