Someone at Boeing was supposed to have said he'd give a lot for the name "Seven Sea" Of course, it wasn't long before the 707 did them in. Those DC6 and 7 engines really lit up the sky at night! When turboprops came in, my wife was bothered because they didn't run the engines up before they released the brakes. Perhaps you are only talking about PA aircraft used in Europe, not transatlantic.
