When I was a young cadet in the '70s, I was a passenger onboard 707. Food galore was fantastic and even had seconds. Loved those days. Today, in fighting among passengers and crew. Great history of this aircraft.

To this day the 707 has aLways been my favorite aircraft. This is coming from a retired corporate pilot who has flown more types of aircraft than I care to own up to. This was when air travel was real, not whatever it is today.

Back then the cost of a round-trip ticket was the cost of a car. The 747 introduced the more fuel-efficient turbofan engines for better or worse making flying accessible to everyone

Its cool to see the sentiment about flying and air travel back then was something special and never to be experienced again. Air travel today is something I avoid if possible. I remember BOAC from when I was a kid but don't think I flew on them. Sure looked very classy and dare I say a notch up from Pan Am.

As a kid in the 1960s my Dad would take me to Manchester (Ringway as it was known) airport to watch BOAC 707s. They flew to New York and Canada with a stop at Prestwick so they were very light on take-off from Manchester and absolutely thundered off the runway into a steep climb. The excitement and glamour of transatlantic travel was addictive, and the special song of those RR Conways whilst taxiing - I can still hear it today!

Not the USAF. These were special versions using Rolls-Royce engines instead of Pratt&Whitney engines. They were made to UK specifications. The USAF versions, C-137s, existed with Pratt&Whitney engines and USAF specifications. The E-3s AWACS are specials built to USAF specifications, similarly for the E-6 USN TACAMO aircraft.

Travel meant something back then. Although most people could never afford it. Now they can and we get terrorism and coronavirus. I’m horrified that they can’t survive without in flight entertainment. I always wanted to fly for Qantas but I was too short. They had a good time. Between Sydney and London there was lots of time off. Today I have no idea how they cope and why they do it.

Nonsense. Did you notice the cramped 6 across seating in second class? That was Juan Trippe of Pan American Airways doing. That same cramped 6 across seating is in every airliner Boeing 737 in existence. Insufficient armrest space due to the seats being too narrow. Juan mandated that design so he could pack in passengers from Puerto Rico, Central America, and South America. The seats in first class were based on relatively honest ergonomic evaluations of what adult humans needed to be comfortable on long flights. The seats in second class were based on nonsensical rigged evaluations made to say that what Juan Triple demanded was good ergonomics.

Infinitely more civilized than today .... the journey was perhaps as special as the destination. Plenty of these passengers recalled traveling via horse and buggy in comparison to flying 600 mph in the lap of luxury. They actually flew significantly faster than we do today. No TSA, everyone wore their best. It was a very special thing. People used to actually really look forward to the flight. The next phase was supposed to be the Boeing 2707. New York to Paris in 90 minutes. It almost happened, except the 1970s happened instead

I'm pretty sure BOAC became British airways. I've always wanted to fly on a 747, a Concorde, and now a 707. I'm 18 and I just wish I could time travel back to 40-50 years ago and fly in style, with actual good food and elegance, minus the smoking. Imagine being on the same flight as the Beatles! That must have been awesome. I guess the modern day equivalent would be Emirates air with their good food, class and freaking beds on the planes. I wanna go on an Emirates A380

@@renroxhrd I understand your particular problem and sympathise with you. However, let me tell it from the other side. Firstly, smoking on aircraft is not dangerous. There has never been a passenger fatality directly caused by a passenger smoking in the passenger cabin. NEVER. There have however been fatalities caused by secret smoking in the lavatory (which has always been forbidden) on non-smoking flights and passengers disposing of cigarettes in the paper waste. There is no more oxygen in an aircraft cabin than in normal atmosphere. Have no idea where you got this incorrect idea from. It looks as if you have been well indoctrinated with the anti-smoking agenda though. These days the atmosphere aboard aircraft is tense. Allowing passengers to smoke went a long way to create a much more relaxed and less tense environment. I was born in 1960 and have smoked since I was 17, having started smoking in 1978, still smoke, am fit and healthy for my age and suffer no ill effects. The ban on smoking on long distance flights has destroyed my life and the lives of many other regular smokers making such journeys absolute hell for us instead of the pleasurable experiences of the past. There is also the question of nervous flyers. Many people are nervous, even scared, of flying. That first cigarette after take off goes a long long way to calm such passengers. The same can be said in respect of calming passengers after any incident or event which can cause stress or anxiety during the flight. Also, the first instances of so called 'air rage' occurred when smoking bans were introduced, usually in the premium cabins. Air rage was unheard of when smoking was allowed. The ban on smoking was introduced primarily to allow airlines to save money by reducing ventilation. Fresh air taken into the aircraft requires heating which means more fuel is consumed. By banning smoking and reducing ventilation, less fuel is used. Even with smoking allowed the air in passenger cabins in the past was fresher than the dry recycled air of today. I too dislike being in an enclosed space with smokers but when aircraft were properly ventilated I never had any problem and, of course, there should be separate smoking and non-smoking areas..

@@Ben-xe8ps my dad is the same age as you, used to smoke on planes, been smoking since like 1972. Smokers not smoking on planes is uncomfortable just because they can't get a fix, as my dad puts it. He smokes before we go on the plane and after we land. It's not an airline problem as far as it being uncomfortable not to smoke on planes, its the smokers who are addicted and it calms them down. This is why I think don't do drugs so that isn't even an issue. But when I can't eat food to calm me down, I just find different outlets. I get nervous on planes and listen to music, fidget with stuff, use slime, watch stuff if they offer it, meditate. Anything for that dopamine release. Doesn't have to be nicotine. I see people on planes with nicotine patches or nicotine gum and they're ok
