50 years later, DFWs genius still works!

Awesome time capsule! Definitely later than 1975 though; this film shows Reunion Tower, Hyatt Regency Dallas, and Dallas City Hall, all completed in 1978. Also, the credits bizarrely have Chuck Murphy was the narrator, but that is not his voice, and is most likely John B. Wells.

An enjoyable look at the past. However, the scenes are from later than 1975. Looking at the scenes that include Braniff International, one will notice some of their planes painted in what was known as the 'Ultra' scheme. Those are the planes lacking 'Braniff International' titles, and the 'BI' logo on the tail. The Ultra scheme debuted in 1977. Another indication of this film being later than 1975: Piedmont Airlines began service to DFW in 1979.

Hard to believe DFW was once a regional airport.

[@bdsnook3]

It was always "international", it just wasn't in the name at first
