Southwest and the Hot Pants girls, with the "Fly me"
campaign that women hated so. Those were the days.....

Great post. Thanks!

Notice also that there are no "minorities" everything is lily-white.
Notice also that almost every carrier shown is now out of business in
the USA.


Ah how the times change ...

Cheers,

Dave

Very nice post. It does reminds me of the earlier and more pleasant days
of commercial aviation. My first commercial flight was from Denver to
Philadelphia on a Connie Jan 1, 1955. I did a lot of commercial flying up
till 5 or so years ago and it became less and less pleasant as the years
went by. I remember when you could go up to cockpit in flight and chat
with the pilot. I once made the majority of a flight in the copilot¢s seat
(Slick Airways on a converted C46).

It is a shame as it used to be a positive experience and now it is more
pain than anything else. I drive across the country to avoid flying. I
will probably make one or two more trips by air and those will be
International where driving presents lots of problems. Don¢t suggest I go
by boat as I was cured of that on the USNS General Randolph.

Oh yes, isn't that the truth. My first flight was in the cockpit
jumpseat of a PBY that my dad was flying on "Dependent's Day" at North
Island. I must have been around 7 at that time. They don't do that
anymore either -- lawsuits, of course.

Its only armament - 28 FFAR in retractable tray - later the Danish F-86D
were modified to carry two Sidewinders on pylons in front of the main
wheels.
