I got to fly on a restored DC-3 (N28AA) in 2009. I was surprised how the similar the cabin interior "felt" to that of a modern airliner. It even had the little twist-to-adjust air vents over the seats. Still wouldn't want to fly cross-country on one, though.

Be advised, video is 43 minutes long. Skip ahead to the 32-minute mark for the final landing sequence.

My sister did the Concorde-QEII trip in the late 90's. I'm still jealous that she's the only one of our siblings who's broken the sound barrier.

It's not designed to make sense. It's designed to make people curious as to which airline is the more "transparent," and hopefully click the article (and thereby load the associated advertisements).
