That some pretty obscure stuff

i did say they were old ones. :slight_smile:

Those are great rw812!! Thanks for sharing them. One of my favorite airline slogans (not near as old), I remember hearing and seeing on TV when I was a kid - “Continental Airlines, the proud bird with the golden tail”
(Because of that, I was dissappointed when CO changed the livery.)

Thanks.
As the wags would say, the proud bird with the golden ass!

It’s interesting to see how many of those aren’t in business anymore.

I think one of the best that I have ever seen was from Piedmont Airlines prior to the USAirways Merger.

“Piedmont Flies The Friendly Skies”
“Piedmont, The Up and Coming Airline”

Sparkie

are you sure about the friendly skies slogan? United would have had a cow because their slogan was fly the friendly skies

One ex COA employee I used to work with called in the proud bird with the brass ass.

you’re correct - i should have said brass, not golden

Yeah. They used it before United started using it,

On tv “Western Airlines, the only way to fly” with a destination on the vert stablizer which changed between ads.
