DC-7C FREIGHT: From Corrosion Corner through the Caribbean and Back 1992 - Part 3 0f 3
Part 3 of a 3 Part series featuring a two-day Caribbean cargo trip on the very last Douglas DC-7C in airline service, with cargo operator Trans-Air-Link, in March 1992. This heavy piston propliner was a key player in long-range, trans-oceanic passenger airline service in the late 1950's before the age of the jetliners. Most survivors lived out their few remaining years as converted freighters.
Our 2,200 mile route takes us from Miami to St. Maarten (SXM), then to St. Croix (STX), St. Thomas (STT), San Juan PR (SJU), Borinquen PR (BQN) and back to Miami. This Part 3 covers the crews' dealing with major hydraulic failure at Borinquen PR and then the final flight leg back to Miami.
This comprehensive full-audio footage is very rare, and will likely never be replicated, but we hope more such footage will surface from somewhere in the future. DC-7C's have long since disappeared from the skies.
