·A picture from the Lyon Air Museum at John Wayne air port in Santa Anna California. This is a great little museum containing classic air planes, cars, motorcycles and dragsters. The staff and volunteers are super nice and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

·Check out the prices on this old in-flight menu. You could even buy cigarettes! According to the person who took this photo, it was found inside an old book, in perfect condition.

You're giving your age away or I am 😀 . I remember suffering on airlines when smoking was a normal activity. The seats had ash trays and the stewardesses would bring you a lighter if you needed one. I have also flown from Los Angeles to Honolulu refuel and then onto Haneda Japan Airport before there was Narita International on propeller aircraft.

·😀
I had a family friend as a Ansett pilot in 1983 who took me for my birthday on a flight from Hobart to a Melbourne and back to Launceston and with his private Cessna from Launceston to his farm property where his farm had it’s own airstrip & hangar (awesome commute for ‘83! An amazing day for a small little boy being able to do witness starts and landings from the jump seat in-the cockpit! Those were the days when one could still get to see the cockpit as a kid 😀
who remembers the old Ansett logo or TAA ?

By the time I was old enough to fly unaccompanied, the Ansett logo had changed to this:
I can't remember when they changed from the red logo to this one, but this is the one they were using when they went out of business in 2002.
Gosh, I can barely remember TAA. That's a real blast from the past!

·Those sound like great memories. I long for those days when you could visit the cockpit.

Interesting I remember TAA with the TAA logo and then theblue Rroo

··Never Used A KodakI am not an Aviator but this is still one of my favorite threads. At a garage sale this morning there was a plastic tote marked « airlines collectables » (sic).
I decided to not open it and made an offer. Here’s the loot. Lots of airlines represented. The zippered bags are car care and overnight kits. They are complete.
Notice all of the items that would not be allowed on planes today. And yes, that is a chess game.

I flew on Australian Airlines too, as well as several other now defunct airlines that either went under or were merged into something else...
Eastern Airlines
Canadian Airlines
US Scare (US Air)
Air Ontario
And probably a few more that I'm not remembering...
