FLYING THE DOUGLAS DC-7

[Old Jim]

Hey Guys,

Here is a GREAT video for you to watch, it is 9 minutes long.

Jeff Skiles and, "Sully" Sullenberger (U.S. Airways) fly the DC-7 and get 2nd in command qualified.

Note the commentary by the instructor pilot that there are no computers between the pilot and the operation of the aircraft. He states, "You are the computer".

If you like vintage airplanes, watch as Jeff Skiles and Sully Sullenberger take you through a nostalgic look at the venerable Douglas DC-7.
