Saw a movie that featured a Convair called View From the Top about flight attendants. I only saw the first 30 min, but it was funny. Anyone know whose Convair. |

If you want to see Convairs (and DC-6s) in a film, try the early 50s comedy Three Guys Named Mike. New stewardess, Jane Wyman, is chased by three guys...a pilot, a businessman and a penniless college professor...guess who she picks? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLXB4JZ1ev0 Fun to see new American Airlines Convairs in action. They use the forward right door for servicing & boarding and it has built-in power stairs. Didn't know they still boarded on the right, just like AA's DC-3s. It's a bit of nostalgia to when people got dressed for fltying, you weren't patted down and the planes were nicer than third world busses. |

Or, if it won't make your fillings ache, the Doris Day movie 'Julie' where she as a flight attendant has to land the 'Amalgamated Airlines' DC-4 she's on at a very baren looking SFO. |

Anyway a movie with both Gwyneth Paltrow and Christina Applegate in bikinis can't be all bad, now can it ?  The all-time classic is of course The High nd the Mighty. Watch for the Duke's version of CRM  .
