I was a flight attendant with TWA in the early 1960’s and really miss those days. Most noticeable from the PAN-AM pic, other than the spaciousness, is the presence of real food, people who dressed up to fly and the absence of anything electronic. People actually talked to one another back then during a flight, rather than staring mindlessly at some electronic device. Nice to see reminders of more pleasant times. Thanks for sharing.

My dad caught one of the first Pan Am 707 flights, Tokyo to San Francisco in the late 50s. The 707 is still with us in a military tanker...

I saw a zombie-texter walk into a closed door today. I chuckled.

And only a small percentage of people could afford to fly...
