...seated in 8F, on the starboard side window and next to a young businessman. The New York to Charlotte flight is one I've taken what seems like hundreds of times over the years. We take off north over the Bronx and as we climb, turn west over the Hudson River to New Jersey and tack south. I love to fly, always have, and this flight plan gives a great view of several New York landmarks including Yankee Stadium and the George Washington Bridge...

...Douglas expects to solve its production snags this year, and industry analysts feel that its fiscal misfortunes, too, may be short-lived, if only because its planes remain so popular. United Air Lines has just ordered 18 more stretched-out DC-8-61 (251 passenger) liners and six DC-8F freighters, for $220 million. In a bid to capture still more of the swelling market for transports, Douglas last week rolled out the first production model of its DC-8-62, the world's longest-range (5,750 mi.) commercial jet, for flight testing. The company already has orders...
...rarely leaves it before nightfall, even then lugs home a fat briefcase. "He's a man who simply can't quit working," says an officer who has served three times with him. At least two days a week he zips around the field by Beechcraft U-8F and helicopter, often galloping to and from his craft at a dead run so that he can squeeze in one more visit to one more outpost in the "boonies...

But the breakthrough in air freight is only beginning. Before mid-1965, U.S. airlines will be flying 30 DC-8F and Boeing 707-321C jet freighters, each of which in one week's normal schedule can car ry coast to coast enough freight to fill 20 boxcars. Using prepacked freight pallets, special lift mechanisms and aircraft floors with built-in rollers, crews can load and unload jet freighters...
