This is what the Frontier DC-3 looked like prior to my first flight on a commercial airliner. It was in January of 1962 when I flew from Lincoln to Chicago where I changed planes and flew on to Washington, D.C. I was one of several Administrative Trainees that spent a week in the USDA headquarters office of the Soil Conservation Service. One of the major items discussed that week was the conversion of many of USDA's administrative programs to a centralized computer system located in New Orleans. It was a very revolutionary move and while it took a while to iron out the problems, it was certainly timely. USDA was out ahead of most of the Cabinet level agencies in getting their personnel and other records computerized.
