I can remember flying in old birds like these back in the late 50's, early 60's. Not Stratoliners......but DC6's, Connies, DC3's. No long lines, leave your shoes on, good lunches with pretty stewardnesses. I do remember though having to evacuate the plane in Great Falls, Montana because of a bomb scare.
Good video and worth looking at if you haven't seen it.
