Although my first flight in a commercial airliner was in a Boeing 707, I remember the drone of those big Pratt & Whitney engines overhead as a child. That was beautiful, Thanks Al.

The DC-7B was a beauty but the Lockheed Constellation had an even more gracefull look and was the last of the great piston powered airliners.
