- Dating to 1970, "AIRPLANE TRIP" was the fourth edition Encyclopedia Brittanica film to bear that name. The progress of aviation in the years between the first version in the 1930s was so much as to make new versions necessary every decade or so. This film takes place at LAX airport in Los Angeles, with passengers boarding a National Airlines flight from LA to Miami (:48). Stewardesses are loading into a van as they have arisen early at the Huntley House Hotel to prepare for the flight (1:04). This plane, a National Airlines (2:27) DC-10 tail #N64NA (and nicknamed "Geraldine" by the airline), has seating for 255 passengers and requires eight stewardesses. Father and son receive boarding passes and check luggage (3:41). Meanwhile, the captain is discussing the weather, load information, routes and altitudes with his first officer and flight engineer (3:56).
As the boy is wondering just where his baggage is heading, it is being loaded into the plane (4:29). Although mechanics will maintain and fix all equipment, the captain makes his own personal checks to ensure nothing has been missed (4:49).On board, the stewardesses make their checks of equipment such as pillows, etc (5:08). In the cockpit, parking brakes and oxygen masks are also checked (5:25). As passengers begin to board and take their seats, the fasten seat belt light flicks on (6:05). Engines are kicking on, the plane is preparing for take off and doors are armed and locked (6:32). Flight staff is then to explain emergency equipment and procedures such as the oxygen mask (6:53).After having been cleared for departure, and then taking off, the pilot explains the route to the passengers (8:35). The flight will head through El Paso, Austin, Houston and then exit the Texas coast heading over the Gulf of Mexico, the Mississippi Delta region and fly into the coast of Florida, landing in Miami.While in the air, the staff will remain in contact with ground stations which will report back on nearby aircraft and weather conditions (9:11). Passing over El Paso, altitudes will read 37,000 feet and speeds reach 645 mph (9:39).
Upon approaching the Florida coast, those altitudes as well as cabin air pressure will begin to drop (11:11). The plane touches down and passengers begin to exit the plane (12:48). As the child expresses gratitude for the flight and staff, a stewardess, now alone on the empty aircraft, speaks of her long day and plans for the night (13:14). The film is drawing to it's conclusion with credit screens and a special thank you note to National Airlines for their assistance in the making of the film (13:34).

The old crusty captain was probably counting the days to retirement, looks like a tired crew. Thanks for the vid :)
The old captain probably blew half of Germany off the map lol
@@jamesrecknor6752 Exactly, the older pilots up until about 1980 were mostly WWII veterans. Like my father who flew for National Airlines from 1950 - 1978. You were pretty safe with these veteran pilots.
When flying was a pleasurable experience.
1972 is a good guess. I was a National flight attendant, and that's the uniform we wore in 1971 and 1972. However, looking at that bright, shiny airplane (ship #60--our first DC-10), I think this may have been 1971.
It's copyrighted 1973.
You can just make it out in the opening credits as the camera pans across the parking lot at 0:22
Yeah copyright 1973, possibly film late 1972 early 1973?
My father and mother both worked for National. I miss old Miami and I miss National Airlines.
I have fond memories of flying National Airlines as a kid. Still my favorite airline..... They still rank as best economy class meal for a roast beef dinner they once served me from New Orleans to Los Angeles on a 727-200 named Peggy.
Both of my parents worked for National and we lived in Miami. I miss my parents, the airline and Miami of old.
I flew American Airlines DC-10s in 1976 and 1978 (twice) as a pre-teen and teenager. The main thing I remember was the emptiness of the aircraft. I remember walking onto my first DC-10 and man, the feeling of space above you, that high ceiling. Carry-on bags were hardly a thing. But also, the flights were just empty compared to today - which is not a good thing, by the way, because it was an indication of how incredibly inefficient and expensive they were. Sure, nice to fly, but the reality is that flying was much less prevalent. It was a big deal to go on a flight and for a lot of people, completely out of reach. Yeah, it's unpleasant today, but flying is also no big deal anymore. But also, those airplanes were on routes that couldn't support them - like San Diego to Chicago. Simply not enough people to justify it.
I remember flying on the DC10 for the 1st time in 1988 when I was going off to college. AA DC10 ORD-SFO late August 1988. I had never flown on a widebody airliner before. Only American Airlines Boeing 727s and MD80s back in the 1980s. AA was a great airline then and had excellent service with friendly flight attendants.
I was 6 when I flew National from JFK to MIA this was in 1971. That kid reminded me of that time; to this day I still get excited when I fly!
I used to travel a lot as a kid in the late 70s and 80s and I always remember getting those Jr piolt wings. I had about 8 of them by the time I was 10. Wish I would have saved them.
7:58 incredible takeoff
My first flight changed the world for me! 1976 Newark, NJ to Orlando, FL.
Magical. I have loved flying ever since! First plane was named JAMIE !
Since I turned 10 in 1972, I guess this boy is about the same age as me. But this film really makes the 1970s look kind of drab (I don't remember it that way!)
My friend Nancy P. was one of the stewardesses working the flight. She is the blonde with the long pony tail. Went onto PanAm with the merger then onto United. So many fond memories of National Airlines.
Kid at 3:13 sounds like he might have done voice work as Charlie Brown or Linus.
Next to the DC-3 and L-1011, the DC-10 is the nicest looking plane out there.
Yes my fav is the 1011 i flew on Delta the most, TWA a lot and Eastern only once. I also flew on several DC-10's and my aunt was a stewardess for American and she worked on the DC-3, told me stories how she would sit down and play cards with passengers as the flight took i think 8 hours from Dallas to LAX, im not sure though? My fav now it the 777 been on United to Honolulu 5x in 3 years, just love to fly on wide-bodied aircraft!
@@howardcod4I think that's terrific Laura. Thank you for sharing that. I"ve never flown the triple 7 though. Today's airline Stewards and Stewardesses just aren't quite the same I've noticed. Not to say they aren't nice. They are. I don't think they'd sit down and play cards though. They can be rather cliquish. And by the way. Thank you for saying Stewardess. Today the airline industry must think it's a bad thing or something to be a male or female, so they grey up the lines and say "flight attendant." Politically correct stuff. Anyway, sorry for the rant, off my soap box. : -)
8:17 looks pretty good while flying
That Capt looks like he's going in for a root canal
Great vintage film! Do you know the exact date of release? At 4:30 there is a glimpse of a TWA L-1011 engine, and the L-1011 was introduced into service after the DC-10, so I'd place the film in mid-late 1972.
As a flight attendant myself, I find it interesting to see how certain cabin safety procedures have been enhanced over the years. For example, the FAs lock and arm their doors, but nobody cross-checks. Regarding flight deck service, we are supposed to always serve beverages "outboard" - that is, on the window side to the pilots, away from the central control panel (to avoid potential spills on the sensitive equipment.)
Thanks for posting this!
The copyright date of the film, at :19 says 1973 but the shoot date could well have been in '72.
2:35 - "No, the red zone is for loading and unloading. There has never been stopping in a *WHITE* zone."
I remember getting pilot wings and my sister getting stewardess wings back in the day. Of course a girl would never be encouraged to become an airline pilot! Unheard of! .......and vice versa.
7:14 7:36 National airlines looked great on the dc10
Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏼
Excellent quality video!!
Love it!!
Excellent!

I love this history every thing is nice
Such a cool period vintage video. I wonder how many of the flight crew went on to PanAm. Thanks for sharing, fond memories of the airlines as a kid.
Who knows. I do know Pan Am treated National Airline employees like garbage. For instance, all seniority was lost for National employees after the merger.
Back then, if you were going to Miami you flew National!
This was fun to watch! My family left the Houston airport on National in July 1970 to fly to Miami and it was our first time flying. So exciting! We left early in the morning and were served an excellent breakfast. I was 16 and wanted to be one of the stewardesses! A fun time to fly.
After a 4 1/2 hour flight that isn't even completely full, the stewardess is tired. No wait. It's 2023. We have to turn this bird around and go back to LAX!
“Uhhhhh, check your clearance, Clarence”. “Roger,Roger”........”What’s your vector, Victor?”.......
Good movie... Great time...
Peter, do you like movies about gladiators?
12:03 kind of a hard landing
A full hot meal in coach and 8 abreast!
That must be a brand new airplane at this point because they didn't have to use an `air start' to start up engine number 1
1970 - the DC-10 just entered service.
When i saw that cargo door close it reminded me of all the in flight openinings the DC10 cargo door had in flight
Same to me, it reminded me the United 747. By the way 2 on DC-10
Mommy said she is going to stay home and get to know the neighbor a little better and then she winked at me. She loves showing the dads in the neighborhood her bedroom. My special job is to not tell daddy and I’m the best at it.
what...
unbelievable, that someone had their iphone 13 on board to record this
@@nikerailfanningttm9046 Dah! Roderick was joking. But thanks for being so clever.
0:27 the damned dc 10 cargo door will kill lots of people in the following years...
Just in 1974, one time. United 747 one time
did the pilots ask that boy if he has ever been in a turkish prison.
I was in the Mekong Delta when this film came out. I can tell you we had a country back then. A beautiful country. Now I’m not so sure?
