Although not an airliner per se, Air Force 1 at the end is included since the 707 is no more and the photo illustrates a simpler time when anyone with a camera could step onto the observation deck near the airplanes. President Ford is in it as it begins to taxi from the old airline ramp at Manchester, NH Airport. Back then (mid 70s) it was called Grenier Field.

@TheVineyarder My Dad flew those for a time at Northeast before going to the 727. As a kid he (and the captain of course) took me from Manchester to LaGuardia and back in the cockpit jump seat of one of those planes, known as the FH-227. It was a different era in so many ways.

I remember one of the commercials for Eastern Airlines in the mid-80s. I was in the DC area, it was winter time and they were advertising flights to Florida, the slogan was "I need it bad!" My Mom's birthday is in the end of January, I miserably cold, dreary time, so that year we through her an "I need it bad!" beach-themed birthday party.
