Landing a jet plane, any experts?

Hi,
I'm working on a story that has a part in it where a guy with only a little flying time in Piper Cubs and like that has to fly a Jet Plane. I know it's been done to death ( the movie Airplane) but it is part of my story.
I know it is possible with one of the new computerised airplanes, but my story is set in November 1963, so I'm wondering if it was possible with the old jets like the Boeing 707 or the Convair 990?
Maybe someone knows a good aviation forum to ask in? !
