Hi mgchristy
The MAAM Viscount reg was never in Capital service.
It was built for as a V.745D Capital but it was one of the cancelled batch
It was converted to a V.798D as N6591C for Northeast Airlines
It only wore N7471 when acquired by the Museum and painted in Capital livery and no other Viscount wore that reg..........so I afraid your father could not have flown on that reg in service.

History is so much more enticing when there's a tangible link to the past. I guess his old age and sentimentality sometimes overrule rational statements.
