When Dad transitioned from the DC-6 to the Electra he thought it was wonderful, a real pilot’s airplane. Later when flying the jets he still had a soft spot for the Lockheed. I flew the Electra and enjoyed every minute of it. The instantaneous response when the throttles were barely moved was always exhilarating. When I moved up (?) to the B-727 I was aghast to see the F/E trying to manually parallel generators by eyeballing flashing lights! The jet was light years behind when it came to systems.
