Sent the link to my dad and learned that he frequently flew from South Bend, IN to Washington, D.C. on TWA Super Connies back in the day.

Could that plane really maintain level flight on one engine? I imagine the demo in the film was with a pretty light load, what about with a lot of passengers and fuel?
