What happens
Jack Benny, Mary Livingstone, Phil Harris and Dennis Day board a flight from New York to Los Angeles after a stay in the city. On the way to the airport, Jack and Mary argue over his expense account, and at the terminal the group gathers, with Eddie Anderson's Rochester reluctant to fly. Once airborne, the travelers pass over landmarks, including Jack's hometown of Waukegan, while Jack struggles with airsickness and Dennis sings a song. The program is a Jell-O broadcast from 1940-05-12, heard on NBC and CBS Radio, with Jack Benny, Mary Livingstone, Eddie Anderson and Phil Harris in the leading roles.
A taxi ride to New York Municipal Airport, the terminal, and a passenger flight from New York toward Los Angeles.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
