Single Engine (big) Airliner? Possibly...

Yes, because the Connie is sexy! Duh! :insane: ;)

(Certain Boeing jets have considerable sex appeal, but don't come close.)

I have no problem once the door is closed and I'm glad we aren't bouncing around at 220 the whole time, but everything else that happens before or after the flying is simply ridiculous. By the time I drive to LAX, get parked, wait for the shuttle, wait to check in, wait to get frisked, get frisked, go to the gate, get onboard, wait for release, (I would go on, but I'll spare the page space). You get the point. We go across the ground faster but there's more screwing around that happens.

And back then only the elite flew. Akin to Netjets now, which I doubt have to get a shuttle when they park their car.

Ticket prices should go up to match infl...never mind. You have a good point. 'Scuse me, I'll go blast off in my minijet now. :D (not)

It's frustrating to know how fast the system could be, without sacrificing any safety or security at all.
