air today...

Dear diablog,

While rummaging through my father's odd 'n' ends I came across this jewel which sadly is not dated but I guess to be late '40's/early '50's as it was about then that he visited the States a number of times.

Can you imagine this being issued to passengers by Ryanair, or indeed any of the leading airlines? You are lucky with Ryanair if you know where you are going!



even more interesting is that...


..his fellow passengers signed it!




I wonder if the pilot or any of those signing are still out there - and even see this! Or whether it would qualify as an antique!!

Yours, diablog, floating on air

PS
Who flies with Ryanair ?

Glynsky said...

If at all possible - not me! Though I have to go to Pescara and it may be the only option - unless I can find a fly/train option.

Fly Alitalia via Milano Linate.
Next please.

Oh Alex,

Don't worry, that's just my pilot. I'm actually the plane itself.
