Colonial Sets Record On NY-Montreal Run

What local aviation circles believe to be a record northbound run for the New York-Montreal route, was made yesterday when a Colonial Airlines DC-4 touched down at Dorval Airport an hour and 12 minutes after becoming airborne at LaGuardia Airport, New York. 

Although yesterday's weather looked anything but ideal for aircraft, Captain Michael Gitt claimed wind conditions were highly favorable and made the 72-minute run possible.
