Anybody know how I can download that trailer? Right clicking didn't work. That's realy neat.
 
The glory days. Back when pilots were gods, treated and paid like professionals and WERE. Back when passengers were well mannered, well dressed and happy to be there. And back when the flight attendants were hot and ready to party. Great vid.
 
Funny how all the pilots were wearing hats, and all the cool airplanes had props on them in that video...
 
The last 30 seconds was a real kick in the nutz too...really scary to see all the airlines that are now in the history books.

The zoom-in on Independence Air was like seeing a horror movie...serious flashbacks...
 
Sad, very sad. Looking at those pictures makes one wonder if this industry will ever turn around. But one question. Where are the bro's and sister's in those flicks? And don't you dare count the Air Panama pics!:rolleyes:

what's even more funny is that the more i learn about airline history, the more i realize that there never was a "good ol days" with the exception of the attractive FAs. we used to have those, now all we have are GBMs and dinos
 
Some of those pictures are promo pics. That PSA picture with the two fA's was obviously a promo, so they got the best looking FA's. I'll bet they had ug's, but you won't see them on ads.

Check out the airline commercials link at the top of the slide show page. Those Southwest Flight Attendants REALLY bring back memories.
 
The good ol' days but only if you are from a certain race and class. Its a sad part of american history.
 
PSA (the original) never had any "ug's"

Actually, PSA never had any "ug's". Check out this link, judge for yourself. http://www.jetpsa.com/stewgrad/stewgrad.html

How the "F" did our industry go from that.. to what we have now. They ought to start placing those Rainbow stickers on our planes these days.

Just Pisses me off.

By the way SuperKooter ...... Theres nothing wrong with Prop flying. You woulda learned alot more doing that, then at the Awsome Embry Riddle..

Is that what Howard Hughes, Juan Trippe, CE Wolman and the like should have been concerned with instead of building the best aviation industry in the world? And now the employees of those once great companies are practically working for free so every American can take a flight to Cancun. Maybe that's how you like it.
