the coment was written that the private pilot in 1970 was expected to
understand more than the commercial pilot of the 1950's.

Was a commercial ticket back in the 1950's all you needed to fly for the
airlines?

I know in the 1970's it required an ATR (Air Transport Rating) but I don't
know when that was started.

I saw Arthur Godfrey pilot an Eastern Airlines Constellation.

I saw Arthur Godfrey pilot an Eastern Airlines Constellation.

That was a great video that really captures the era. I've got excerpts
from it he

That's where I got the whole thing, although it's on YouTube as well.

I wonder how the real Eastern captain felt as mere copilot to the Hollywood
Eastern captain in the person of Arthur Godfrey.

I also wonder whom the film targeted, since I don't recall hearing about it
before, and I can't find many references to it.

Oh yeah? I can top that.

Last summer, I saw Elvis Presley himself taxi up in the left seat of
a green and white Bellanca Super Viking and and park next to me on the
ramp at Henderson Executive (KHND in Las Vegas). I know for a fact it
was Elvis himself, due to his trademark sideburns and white bellbottom
jumpsuit with gold stripes down the pant legs and gold stars
embroidered on the huge lapels. I swear it really was Elvis. He even
said "Thank ya, Thank ya very much" to the lineman who gave us a ride
in the van to the FBO.

Unlike Anthony, both Elvis and I flew to Vegas in real airplanes too.

A superb bumper sticker is from the Coast Guard. "Elvis, if you're out
there, we'll find you."

Can I ask how you did it?
My father's no longer living, but I know he was a pilot and would like
to find out more about the flying he did after leaving the Navy.
Would they have the record for a dead pilot? I've had no luck trying
to search.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Got my ticket more than half a century after he got his...
