Flying a Delta DC10 From Tampa to Detroit - March 1979 - Shot on Film
This is a slightly shaky shot taken from the middle part of the coach section of our DC-10. Remember how roomy passenger jets used to be? And they actually served decent food too, which was going on at this point. The headsets were complimentary, and I would either enjoy some classical music, or I would laugh at some of Woody Allen's early monologues (his early funny stuff), done in the early to mid-1960s.
These big planes were not entirely infallible. Two months later a DC-10 crashed shortly after takeoff from O'Hare Airport in Chicago, killing everyone on board. But when they did fly without a problem they were great, as this one was.
This was also shot on film, using Eastman Kodak 5247, tungsten balanced, rated at ASA 100. I'm not using the 85 filter here, but there wasn't that much light coming in, and I had to shoot wide open with my f/1.8 lens at a slow shutter speed. I was shooting with my Vivitar 400/SL camera, using my 50mm lens.
NOTE: Someone was recently posting comments, insisting this was not a DC-10, even though I remember the information at the airport, on my boarding pass, and my ticket back then. I removed his comments and blocked him, largely because he had no photostream, nor did he have any favorites. As much as I do not appreciate "know it all" types, I also do not appreciate those who will not share their work with the rest of us Flickr members. Why have an account?
