You have that right. When my mind drifts off towards avaition I seldom think about anything newer that the 707/727 albeit, I flew most of the big jets, minus the Grand Lady 747.
Did get to fly the DC4, DC6B, DC7C along with the 1049H and C97. Even got a quick shot at the Comet 4C. At the time I couldn't;t wait t get a bid on the 720/707. I should have just relaxed and taken my time while absorbing all the sounds and smells of the big pistons
