Anyone been on a DC8 when there was one seat row per window?
The original DC8 had generous seat pitch such that for every row of seats there was one large window. Economics eventually caused airlines to pack more and more seats in the DC8 but I wonder if there are any old timers out there who flew on the DC8 when the passenger compartment was configured with generous seat pitch? Thanks for any responses.

In my younger years I flew numerous times on the DC-8 (-30, 50 and 60 series) . Seat pitch was good, and although it's a long time ago, I can't remember a flight where I didn't sit next to a window! Yes, those were the days! I flew with SAS, Finnair, Capitol, even VIASA and Spear Air which briefly operated in 1972-74 with two -30 series aircraft, flying charters from HEL.

Yes- but probably not the answer you're looking for. When I was 17 I flew ATL-MSY on a DL DC8-71 in first class- the seat pitch was generous!
