Just catching up and thanks Tom for posting this. I expect most of us will have seen the 1954 AA promotional video,

and I did a FS9 flight plan based on the routing and ATC communications in the video, despite there being a few inconsistences. I suspect much was "staged". When I find it and if it works I'll post details. Of course it uses very few FS9 navaids.
