This is just fabulous! Thanks so much for posting. About the time this film was made, I was 12 years old and a huge West Coast Airlines fan. I used to hang out at the airport in Boise to watch their DC-3s, F-27s, and DC-9s come and go. My first airline flight was on a West Coast DC-3 in 1965.
Interesting side note, Carol Clark who is the Flight Attendant in this film married Captain Ted Nicolay. who later died when Hughes Airwest flight 706 on June 6, 1971 was hit by a USMC F-4 doing barrel rolls. When the lawsuits that were filed by various individuals, Carole met Irv Tague who was the CEO of Hughes Airwest and they were later married.

yes ... it's a neat window into the past ...
West Coast was the only airline operating from BFI during the 60s, and I believe that applies to the mid and late 50s as well.
