Airline Stewardesses-"Have A Nice Day"-Volume l

[declaration963]

Back when flying is fabulous, luxury, and of course, FUN.

today ? don't expect much, you get your flight "ON TIME SCHEDULE" is more than a "lucky"

[amateurphilosopher]

Paradise lost...

[niselat]

I hate videos like this. You think "Wow, she's hot!" then you realize "Ugh, she's like 70 now"

[cap1900]

One of the BEST videos I have ever seen on you tube. I'm a 767 Captain and I'll tell ya "they don't look like that anymore"

[mcdonnell220]

@cap1900 Thanks Captain!

[niselat]

@cap1900 now they are all gays, grandes and grandmas

[srita764]

now the gay guys are friendley and the young, nice women are rude. Im 16, I want an airline like these back flying.

[helios1912]

You should be in movies, mcdonnell220--you produce every presentation with humanity-served up with sizzle and a grin--and yes, 2:33 is warming

[howzitgoin1970]

Man, this sure makes it look like being a "stew" would have been a fun "career." :)

[GusGil101]

Beautiful, thanks for the memories of those old days!

By the way who's the group singing?

GG

[VIR092]

At 2:33 I broke a serious sweat.

[RyanBomar]

That shot at 2:33 is awesome! What a great vid, thanks for making and posting.

[VIR092]

@RyanBomar YES IT IS!

[choosing2lookeast]

I was 11 in '72, and I can sooo relate! I was definitely born too late. I totally should've been a stewardess back in the 60s! Since I grew up near Cleveland Hopkins Airport, I saw a lot of flight crew on the streets and in the shops. To me the "stews" were more glamourous and confident and cooler than any of of the studgy parents, neighbor ladies and teachers ever would be! They were like celebrities to me. P.S. dig the selection of the Raspberries song!

[Fishandchps55]

My fauvouirite song Thank you so much!

[lakeseminole]

This was outstanding and the music was a perfect fit. Reason being it was so exciting to work for the airlines then! People dressed up to fly, it was a great decade and more.

[TWA717]

AHH the good ole days of the Airlines! Really nice job!! I was 10 in 1972 as well and dreaming of the day I would finally learn how to fly! Lots of great memories :))

[LagunaZurfer]

I was about one (maybe two) and wanted more milk on that plane.

[robertsez]

Thanks for sharing, Christian. I was 10 in 1972 and my Dad worked for Boeing.

[Y2R4U]

AHHHH,THE GOOD OL DAYS WHEN WERE AND WANTED TO BE 'REAL' WOMEN AND DIDN'T WANT TATTOOS. ME A SEXIST? YES, ITS CALLED NATURAL SELECTION AND I MISS THE REAL WORLD.

[432ps1]

The good old days, before political correctness, the EPA, OPEC, Feminists, the TSA, blah blah blah. The fun is long gone. Now you get fat, old, ugly rude women and gay men working in the cabins which have become packed tighter than sardine cans, on flights that now taking 6 hours that used to take 4. I have to fly a lot on business and dread it. I drive whenever I can instead.

[TheChezgigi]

The sixties were so much fun when it came to clothing! I'm glad I never had to wear hot pants and go-go boots to work in, because flying was work, even if we looked good doing it. By the end of a twelve-hour flight, those clothes would be a pain, but then, there were more crew members to help out back in the day- gigi wolf, author of the Pan Am Airlines Pages, and A Woman's Guide To Everything on ChezGigi.com

[mcdonnell220]

@TheChezgigi Thanks for the comment GiGi!

[TheChezgigi]

@mcdonnell220 You are welcome! I love the music-

[fmagloire1]

Very nicely done-great soundtrack!

[nalsdc8s]

Love the video and music :)

[santarosahotboytv]

chek out my american rap love songs

[tanukitejon]

Lovely job, love the nice flight attendants

[swmdal]

So, there was a time when airlines had height and weight standards for flight attendants. :-)

[a26invader]

1:40 classic SAS :-) Also, gotta love them Southwest hot-pants!

[johnandthierry]

I flew from Chicago to Paris on Delta last week. Business Class. Full fare - no upgrade. The stewardess had a mustache, the food was inedible, the drinks were skimpy and most of my fellow passengers needed to bathe. I was 20 years old in 1970 and made the same trip (only it was called first class then). How times have changed...

[RustyAimer787]

To all the girls I loved before,

Thank you for all the memories!

[gdsnuff]

So cool!

[chris671]

Not to be discriminative but I think they should bring back the good old style of the "stewardess".  They are like the models of the sky!

[getair]

AH yea, those were the long lost good old days of aviation. Now it is such a goatrope! My mom was a TWA Stewardess in the 50's. It is such a shame what has happened to the industry.

[jacfred]

@getair Agree! Take it from me (I just flew F/class to Denver in April. It was like coach was in the seventies.) The only good thing about flying now is the time factor, at least from the time the aircraft leaves the ground to touch down. Other wise everything else sucks!!!

[bethpage89]

@jacfred

"Time factor"? What airliners now are as fast as the 707s, 727s, DC-8s, and Convairs from the 50s and 60s?!

[Septimanien]

Joli, joli et bonne musique. Merci.

[baterista9]

I was a 15-yr-old airline daughter in 1972. Couldn't wait to get my Spanish BA and apply to Eastern, Pan Am, Braniff, etc. Those fashionable late-60's uniforms were part of the marketing plan, I think, because each uniform change got attention from major news media. Nowadays, it seems most US airlines go the dark business-suit route.

[LAKERSNANCSTER]

I can still remember as a young girl in the 70's telling the stewardess on Braniff International that I wanted to be a Stewardess on that airline. She gave me wings...wish I still had them.

[BusyBeingFabulous]

Ihope they will have more short dresses for flight attendants nowadays. YAY

[ShadowRSonic]

1:26

I hope the pilot doesn't ignite the engine.

[AmericanAirlinesRule]

That model at 0:38, thats Icelandair, isn't it?

[Biancavitta]

Nice video and sog too

I´m stewardess a six months, but private airplane

Thank you..so beautiful

[deadmansvoice]

is it me or are women hotter back then? we should get the women to dress 60's 70's era style again or even the 30's that would be so hot. forget the 80's and 90's that was just baaad!! while today they wear almost nothing or nothing at all thats good too :D imagine a flight were stewardess serve you butt naked with only the hat and scarf around their necks =) or strippers for stewardess mwahaahaha, its amazing how much avionics and aviation has advanced keep it up i want a space ship for xmas

[RicoCoracao2011]

WOW !!! Nice Photos !!!

All Stewardesses here were more stylish than today !!!

[pianomanmaestro]

I guess they have totally taken that term out now and they are all called Flight Attendant!

[ShadowRSonic]

@pianomanmaestro

Haha, yeah, that's thanks to women demanding equality. Although I'd like to see them do all the jobs us men do (going down the mines, heavy construction work).

They'd say they don't want to, so why don't men demand equality with women? Why do we have to be pushed down the mines whilst women enjoy their cushy office jobs?

[e030396]

Nice presentation. Reminds me of my old travel days. It use to be enjoyable and you had a lot of respect for the professional ladies that looked and acted professional plus they treated their customers with respect.

Sad, but something went bump in the middle of the night. If I can't drive to my destination now I just don't go. The service is absolutely rotten. A lot of benefits for video conferencing. The Greyhound isn't bad either.

By the way, what is the name of the tune.

Thanks

[LMJESQ]

Great video with a great sound track! (I have a fleeting recollection of those days and styles.)

[RustyAimer787]

To all the girls I loved before:

Thank you for the beautiful memories!

[sybermen]

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW

[dillon2998]

The opening and parting photo is of a Delta Air Lines Convair 880 at Houston Intercontinental (IAH)! I knew the pilot/photographer who took it. I have the print hanging in my house to this day!

[LMJESQ]

@dillon2998 To see the hot Stewardesses (Yes, I said it....Stewardesses!) I think you have to fly the regional carriers.

[sbd45acp]

WOW! That was GREAT! LOVE the vintage photos. Flight attendants were WAAAaay Hotter in the 60s & 70s!!

[smeldogs]

Like the song !

[BlueKyne]

Wow, the glory days when air travel was exciting the Stewardesses (back when you could can them that) were beautiful and friendly! Sad to see how far it has sunk.

[beergut111]

how true...ive seen only 3 "kinda hot" fa's in the last 10 years......the shit airlines pay so low they can only attract the lowest wombats out there......airlines should just fail and start over.

[bluebusdriver]

Thanks for posting this.

A stark difference between then and now.

[bluebusdriver]

Thanks for posting this.

Stark difference between then and now....

[applesweeter]

Dear All,

I have some questions about psychology:

(1) Why do we want to fly high?

(2) Why do many females want to be flight attendants?

(3) How will person be benefited by taking a job as flight attendants?

(4) Why some females want to be a pilot instead of a flight attendant?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

P.S. Nice Video. It shows the beautiful flight attendants in the golden-jet-age.

[Boeing727223]

God I luv this vid!!

[lsdnlsd1]

love it

[rtenroute]

What kind of moron would thumbs down this ???

[blueflamechevelle]

Awesome...I love this video!

[danje10]

What a great combination! Razzberries (?) "Go All the Way!" and the planes and flight attendants. (Not supposed to call them stewardesses anymore!).

You're music choices are identical to mine -- 1960's rock n roll, for the most part. And... I flew the Convair 880 for 4 years! (Retired 747-400 Captain from United, 2006).

[project727flightsim]

What a Fantastic Video. One of my Favorites for Sure!!!

You can't beat this combination. ... Beautiful Women and Beautiful Airliners

[07Valerie]

I enjoyed this very much.

Thanks for sending it to me.

~Valerie

[lennons100]

Wonderful! Made me remember a flight in an Australian Airlines 727 from Cairns to Brisbane flying low over the Great Barrier Reef - great views, great plane!

[mcdonnell220]

Thanks SO MUCH for all the good words guys, and be sure to check out "Airline Stewardesses" Vol. 2 as well. :-)

[MissJackson34D]

Lovely video.... I used to want to be an air hostess ..good job I didnt as I would have distracted the pilot for sure...see my vids

[RaspScotty]

VERY NICE JOB! I loved the Rasspberries Go All The Way. Great song choice.

[mcdonnell220]

Thanks Scotty, I'm a fan too. ;-)

[ateh1]

nice.. made my day..!  :)

[NarbonneGauchoBoingo]

Wow, I love this video! Great Job!

[Boeing727223]

Only one thing sexier than the airplane itself....The Stewardess! I'm not a pilot but I did fly the 727-200 and 707-321B sims down in Miami...loved both, easy to fly especially the 727....

[voyeurcurioso]

Great memories. Patty Poulson was indeed "Miss 400 Astrojet", posing here for posterity. Let me tell you, did those 400s ever scream on takeoff!

[kcahsoidar]

brilliant video...my first flight was in may of 77` on a boeing 727 when i enlisted in the army, the stewardesses were the best, your video brings back great momories....well done

[wallexus]

Great video! Believe that was Patty Poulson in front of the American "400" Astrojet. She played "Joan" in "Airport" in 1970 and she was probably one of the, if not THE most famous airline stewardess ever. She was in tons of American's publicity pieces in the 1960s. So, so glad I was around back in "the day"! Never be the same again...sad.

[mcdonnell220]

Yep; that's Patty. :-)

[Jetjourney]

I have watched this vid 100 x...i have flown the dc-8 to 777 and still no comparasin the good old days....what gr8 memories.

[b727cpt]

I retired off the 727 and miss flying her, but not dealing with all the B.S.from security, management, traveling public, etc...

[ga757]

Awesome slideshow. Although I don't know what noise abatement and hushkits have to do with old school airline flight attendants errrr stewardesses.

[FlyGuyFRA]

@ga757

it means: Back then during the glory days of flying there were NO noise abatement and NO hushkits! ;-)

[mcdonnell220]

@FlyGuyFRA

I like this guy. ;-)

[LateNightCable]

@ FlyGuyFRA

Actually, there were noise abatement / hushkits back then, because of course early jets were loud as hell. But who needs 'em? A pilot would want to run wide open with pride, hell yeah!

Modern airliners are still hot, but they're super tame compared to their predecessors.

[cincyguy66]

This is great stuff.  Shame things will never be this cool again.

[TG7471]

that plane smokes alot on takoff be for low sofer fuels

[cotimze]

I was 10 in '72...and also an airline brat...thanks for the memories

[mcdonnell220]

You bet.

Sounds like we were in a similar "Place". :-)

[wluttrell64]

i absolutely LOVE this!!! good job!!! excellent!!!

[mcdonnell220]

Cool; Glad you like it. :-)

[mattymattel]

That Convair 880 takeoff pic was taken by Larry Pullen,a copilot of my Dads. That was just about the end of 880 service with Delta. The same print was hanging the crew sched at IAH(which Delta closed). I got the same print(the last one!)from an SWA pilot some years back.

It was truely an amazing time,something we'll never see again.:(

[nycflyer]

terrific!

[TGU757]

It was great times, I miss those years,the flight attendants were very nice, now with so many restrictions and security limitations, flying is no longer a pleasure but a burden... The poor flight attendant's work is no longer fun as they had before.

[LibertyFlyer]

While I like the other content, I get a kick out of the first picture, the Convair 880 buzzing the photographer on takeoff from Bush Intercontinetal.

[PenAirPilot]

Hushkits.....Noise Abatement.....JUST SAY NO. I totally agree.

[lueecam]

GREAT VIDEO! Better times.

[eduardalet]

you're right the airlines have the same women 41 years later , now theyre irritable grandma's. Send me back in time to 1967. Those were the days

[rockape50]

I agree.

Oh, those girls. I know I am just a "guy", but I miss those mini skirts. Please bring them back !

[HVYMETL]

The airlines still have those beautiful girls. (They're the same ones but they're all 62 y.o. now)

[Jetjourney]

LOL I can testify to that!

[Jetjourney]

I Love it! I just wish I could have started flying in the 70's not 80's..and today is just cattle car!

[mcdonnell220]

Yeah. ;-)

[jimdep333]

I remember this, vaguely. I flew as a young kid in the early and mid 70's alot. It was glamorous. It was an event. We can thank jimmy carter and his airline deregulation bill that he signed in 1978 which opened up air travel the the masses! I curse him everytime that I fly for business nowadays.

[cheetajet]

LOVE this...great song!!! Made me cry...a little!

[alexthe22]

Great video and great music to go with it.

[stenic2]

I like the music , can you name it for me ?

[mcdonnell220]

Sure, it's The Raspberries from 1972. This was their highest charting single, which peaked at #5 that year. You may recognise the lead vocalist & rythym guitarist Eric Carmen; he went on to a solo career and had a big hit with "All By Myself" (#2 in 1976) which has passages from Rachmaninoff's concerto # 2.

[stenic2]

Thanks... I love your videos since the craviola days....Ciao

[mcdonnell220]

Nice to be back. :-)

[chrishanson70]

Those were the days... although the policies- and hiring requirements- for stewardesses were pretty strict, it made for a much more luxurious experience, as each and every one was beautiful, bright, and well-mannered lady.

[edurrado]

Clipper Constitution 09/17/1965 Boeing 707-121B (N708PA)

Location: Montserrat, British West Indies

Flight: 292

30 Aboard / 30 Fatal

Crashed into the Chances Peak mountains while descending for landing without determining position.

[mcdonnell220]

Eduardo-EXCELLENT info; thanks so much for the note.

Is that a Thai, or SAS/Thai Caravelle at 2:17???

[edurrado]

No, the Caravelle is a JAT - Yugoslav Airlines (YU-AHB). It is on Aeronautical museum at Belgrade airport.

[mcdonnell220]

Cool; thanks for the great info. :-)

My apologies for misspelling your name too, Edurrado!!

[edurrado]

Think nothing of it!

My name is Eduardo! Edurrado is my username! ;D

[jackd166]

You got to give it to the British, they really know how to rock a plane!!! :D 1:16
