At our high school, there was a Junior class trip to DC over spring break to "meet our elected representatives" and tour the capital. My class went in 1960, on a chartered Connie. I'd flown before, over the Continental Divide 8 times in DC3s (Frontier) and once over the farms of Illinois in a DC7 (Delta, I believe), but I thought of the Connie as something special. The only thing that stands out in my memory of the flights to and from DC, though, is how "cozy" the Connie felt for what looked like it would be a really big plane.
