NOW BOARDING





There was once a time when going to the airport was exciting.

San Francisco International Airport used to be, at least I thought, a very glamorous place to visit. It was a single terminal in those days, with an interior decorated in white marble, had lots of sexy Stewardesses walking around (that's what they were called back then AND THEY LIKED IT), and a few Hare Krishna's thrown in the mix.

Ah, the Bay Area in the 70's. Fun, fun, fun.

I came across some photos recently of the old terminal (which is currently being remodeled for VirginAmerica), and thought you'd enjoy a reminder of the days when flying was a privilege, not a pain in the ass.

  2. Don't you find it odd that the "Insurance" kiosk in the center of the third pic is shaped liked a coffin?
