1978 Beechcraft Bonanza Airplane Santa Fe Airport Advertisement . #Beechcraft #Bonanza #Airplane #SantaFe #Airport #Advertisement #NewMexico #Avgeek #Aviation

Vintage 1978 aviation advertisement promoting the free Beechcraft Business Flying Kit as a resource for companies seeking to reduce business travel time and costs. The upper portion features a large white headline against a blue sky background: “Free. The kit that has shown hundreds of companies new ways to control travel time and costs.” Beneath it, a block of text explains how corporate aircraft can improve travel efficiency, reduce expenses, and help businesses evaluate the costs of owning and operating an airplane. A small photograph shows printed materials included in the kit, and a blue Beechcraft Aviation Center sign appears near the bottom of the text. The advertisement highlights the Beechcraft Bonanza as a four- to five-seat aircraft capable of speeds exceeding 200 miles per hour. In the lower half, a white and dark-colored Beechcraft Bonanza, registration N17561, is parked outside the Santa Fe County Municipal Airport terminal in New Mexico. The building bears the airport's name and lists its elevation as 6,344 feet. One man stands beside the aircraft's rear fuselage, another stands near the nose, and a third person is visible beside a vehicle to the left. The aircraft has a low wing, a single propeller engine, and a distinctive V-shaped tail. The advertisement's bottom section promotes a General Aviation Manufacturers Association flight-training sweepstakes and provides telephone numbers for requesting the free kit.

Remembering American Airlines Flight 44 On September 24, 1961, an American Airlines Boeing 720 overshot the runway while landing at Boston Logan in foggy conditions, sliding into the shallow waters of Winthrop Bay. All 71 people aboard survived. The […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

A black-and-white newspaper photograph shows a crashed American Airlines 707 jet sitting in shallow water and mud near the edge of Boston Harbor. The aircraft is viewed almost directly from the front, with its nose and cockpit facing the camera. The forward fuselage and nose are heavily damaged, while portions of the wings and engines remain visible on either side.

A large bulldozer is positioned directly in front of the aircraft, clearing or pushing a path through the muddy ground toward the wreckage. Deep tracks and disturbed earth extend from the foreground toward the airplane. Several people are gathered around the crash site, including a group of onlookers or workers in the lower-right foreground and additional people standing near the aircraft.

The aircraft is partially surrounded by shallow water. Across the water in the background is a shoreline lined with trees and buildings. The photograph is surrounded by a white newspaper border.

A caption beneath the photograph reads “BULLDOZING A PATH FOR CRASHED JET.” The accompanying newspaper text states that workers were clearing a path to high ground at Boston from the edge of the harbor to haul ashore the American Airlines 707 Astrojets. The article says the aircraft crashed into shallow water Sunday and was carrying 71 persons. It also reports that all survived but that a rescuer later died of a heart attack. The photograph is credited to AP Wirephoto.
