[rampnightmare]

The first Delta's DC8 Jetliner landed in Atlanta on July 22, 1959.

The coming of the jets posed a major challenge to the airlines to improve terminal passenger service.

Delta engineers designed Atlanta first airport bridge and installed it just in time.



Delta launched the world's first DC8 Jet service on September 18, 1959.
