One question I’ve long had about the golden age of airborne dining; given how much worse turbulence was back then (flying at a lower altitude, no radar to detect and fly around choppy air, less reliable storm forecasts) how did they avoid landing soaked in clam chowder?

She's buttering her bread.

Are you sure that is not the Hindenburg? (I am serious). Looks more vertical than a plane.

Thanks, Greg. I loved Pan Am.

My first flight was on PanAm, JFK to Frankfurt.

The one time flag carrier of the United States. A ground breaking airline that changed travel. Allowed to go under... after being undercut by unfair regulations and successive admins and an oil crisis. I miss Pan Am.

It's actually DE-regulation that has destroyed the airline customer experience.

Completely agree.

When flying was still a pleasure!

...and cost the median income of the US.

Exactly. You can fly around the world almost for spare change now and people are still btiching about "good 'ol days".

If only it were that simple. Wait till you get to be 80 and then you will know. Meanwhile enjoy. I know I did when I was young.
