Fantastic film capturing a glamorous period of civil aviation when it was an exciting event to travel by air and people dressed for the occasion. Great footage especially of the DH Vampires.
My first flight with Swissair was in 1960 from Cairo to Zurich on a DC 6B. Then, I flew on a BEA Viscount to London. Later I flew on a brand new Caravelle from London to Zurich. Great memories!
Amazing! Can you still remember your impressions during these flights? The time at the airport, the planes, the environment, the flight itself? How was it? And if you compare it with your current experiences?
Schöner Film. Weckt Erinnerungen! Mein Vater war Ende der 50iger und in den 60igern geschäftlich viel mit dem Flugzeug unterwegs. Er hat also die Zeit des Übergangs von den Propellermaschinen zu den Jets miterlebt. Was das Video selber betrifft: Aaaachtung, Schwyzerdütsch!!!😊🛩✈
Das waren noch Zeiten! - Ohne gepanzerte Cockpit-Türen und 'unruly passengers'! Eine Zeit, in der man in Europa wieder in eine bessere Zukunft zu schauen glaubte. Aber vielleicht sollte man sich diese Filme auch einmal unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Inspiration wider heutige Oberflächlichkeiten und eines Auseinanderdriftens unserer Gemeinwesen anschauen. - Schreibt ein 1959er und Luftfahrer.
Immagini di un' aviazione civile quando volare era un lusso, costi impensabili oggi. Le immagini sono molto rappresentative di quei tempi di oltre 60 anni fa!
I was about a hundred feet below* Swissair DC-7 "HB-IBM"* as it was landing at Ringway Airport, near Manchester, England, some time in 1962. It was the only Swiss aircraft I ever saw "in the metal" instead of on film. * (on a footpath that was on the runway boundary, at a time before the Airport expanded greatly to sweep away such dangerous anomalies) * the airliner glimpsed in the film-clip is fellow Swissair DC-7 "HB-IBL".
@@None-zc5vg I am impressed with your memory about 61 years ago! There is some information in the web saying that was sold to Riddle Airlines on April 2, 1962. So you were lucky to see it!

Only the rich could fly, while the rest were stuck in Greyhound...

Puh, ein Glueck , dass ich als Kind in Kreuzlingen aufgewachsen bin. 😅
A really wonderful film. 👏👏
thank you, condor films had only half of the clip, happy to found the full one
Wunderschön danke !
Was für eine wunderschöne Zeit😇😇😇
Very nice film from a different time … when people bathed and dressed well when they boarded a plane!
Well because only wealthy people could afford flying
Great footage.

... und die Buben trugen noch Knickerbocker-Hosen - ganz ohne vorgefertigte Löcher!
Hat damals einfach der Preis für ein Billet erledigt. Es war einfach zu teuer für 99% der Bevölkerung
Me gustaría volar en un DC 6...retro..m gracias por compartir..bonita,historia..saludos.

Tolle Propst auf dem Vorfeld!
Die Super Conny ist was schick!
Ein schöner Märchenfilm aus der Schweiz. Die besten Piloten waren zu dieser Zeit die deutschen Piloten. Grüße Torsten
At 12:13 the passenger reaches out with her right hand to turn the dial but the cut to the close up shows her using her left hand
Dass waren noch sehr schöne Zeiten und ❤❤❤nicht geändert wahn 2023
Great contrast/ comparison to what once was, to what is today (back then "overall" people took pride in their appearance & were much more polite)
Bei jedem Flug musste man Vertrauen zu 72 Kolben mit Pleuelstangen und 144 Ventilen mit Stößelstangen und Kipphebeln haben.
những thước phim thật thú vị (thật sự rất khâm phục các bác phi công)
Mit berühmten Schweizer Filmstars - Annemarie Blanc und Cäpten Paul Hubschmid🙃
die gute alte Zeit, als die Welt noch in Ordnung war
Saudacoes do Brasil São José dos Campos SP ! Por nais filmes assim qusl o nkme do filme?

So people in the late 50s watch ads as a film?
Also Deutsche Bundesbahn (German Railways) made many wonderful Imagefilms from the 50s to the 70s.
Is this DC-6 or DC-7?
DC-7C

It's a DC 7 Seven Seas used on the ZH to NY route. The DC 6B was used mainly on the Middle East and Asia routes.
Time machine, please :)
Los pantalones del jovencito.....🤭
Nice era. No arabs flying, no need for security checks or cockpit behind locked doors.
Ok the woman is a flight engineer 😂
