In the "golden era" of aviation, life was a little bit different for the (jet-setters of) Seven-Oh-Sevens' first classers.

Don't miss the videos of the Caravelle and Deux Ponts either (click the pics at the bottom right of the screen)

It's so nice to see planes that had windows a normal person could see out...

Ah yes...the sixties...where everyone smoked.
A lot. (Even the jet engines smoked!)
Before, during and after meals.
Over the cognac.
Over the baby.
Very suave, very sophisticated, so very...French.
Gitanes.
;)

Great site, loved the Breguet clip, too.

Don't miss the videos of the Caravelle..
Thanks for that. Almost missed them.

Caravelleīs wingspan looked huge compared to to width of the fuselage by the first glance. I wonder whatīs itīs glide ratio.
