Join curator Chuck Stout as he tours this model of a United Douglas DC-8. Once part of a traveling exhibition to get people used to the idea of traveling in a jet, this model has a wingspan of more than 14 feet. While the model is 1/10 actual size, the passenger figures were made smaller to make the cabin seem roomier!

After many years of neglect, the model began restoration work from Wings volunteer John Bond. John made sure to preserve the original character of the model, which is an accurate snapshot of air travel in 1959. The men wear suit and ties, women have corsages, and the sense of excitement and adventure is alive throughout the cabin!
