I really enjoy the old aviation posters. Thanks!




I can remember when flying was a luxury and the
passengers all wore business suits and dresses. Now
the experience is like taking the bus........



I remember when all the flight attendants (stewardesses) were young, pretty and
female. Hell, I even remember the sound of the rotary engines on DC-3s and
Lockheed Connies.....

Progress, whoo-hoo..... I guess things are better now......


As a kid in the early '60s, I did a lot of traveling with my folks. I
have fond memories of sleepily watching the piston engine exhaust on
night flights. Oh, to have had camera gear at the time...
