Old pictures and advertisements for air travel has surfaced on the blogosphere a few weeks back.


The first thing you notice is the female majority. Flying used to be reserved only for the social elite and what better to attract them with than a Hooters in the sky?

Secondly, notice that most of these pictures were taken in the 1960s and 1970s? What bugs me the most are the aircraft that background these photos. They're EXACTLY the same models we fly in today. They're efficient and safe, yes, but it's like buying a 1975 Honda Accord for the last 35 years. What's sad is that some of these interior shots, the planes look better and more luxurious than they do now. What gives?
