it was fun getting out of the house for LAX! My human is flying to SFO soon, maybe if I sit here looking really pathetic, she'll feel bad and take me along for that too...

I look forward to @crankyflier.com Dorkfest / @nycaviation.bsky.social SpotLAX because it's the only time I fly any more! I saw some cool special liveries on the ramp, and hung out with the other bags at Proud Bird and on Imperial Hill. Henry's bag has serious keychain game! Way more than me.

R.I.P. Peter Max . #PeterMax #rip #Artist #Artwork #PanAm #Aviation #Avgeek #B747
A colorful psychedelic poster by Peter Max promoting Pan Am’s Boeing 747. A large silver-and-blue Pan Am 747 dominates the composition, flying diagonally from the upper left toward the lower right. Behind the aircraft are brightly colored geometric bands in red, yellow, orange, blue, green, and pink, filled with clusters of white and dark-blue stars, circles, and small planets. The Pan Am globe logo and “747” appear prominently near the top. In the upper-right corner, a whimsical stylized figure in a colorful patterned outfit floats among stars. The lower-right corner features an abstract partial face and additional planetary imagery. A small ringed planet appears in the lower-left corner, while Peter Max’s signature logo is centered along the bottom edge. The overall design uses bold outlines, saturated colors, geometric shapes, and fantastical imagery characteristic of Max’s psychedelic commercial artwork.

Douglas DC-8 Advertisement "Look Up to the DC8" . Donated by @aerosavvy.com . #dc8 #Aviation #Advertisement #Avgeek #Travel
Vintage Douglas Aircraft Company advertisement promoting the Douglas DC-8 jetliner. The page is divided into two distinct sections. The upper half features an illustration of a Douglas DC-8 in flight against a plain white background, while the lower half is dominated by a dramatic deep-blue photograph of a star-filled night sky, reinforcing the advertisement's theme of reaching toward the heavens.

At the top, a side-profile illustration shows an early-production Douglas DC-8 flying from left to right. The aircraft wears the Douglas factory demonstration livery, consisting of a white fuselage with thin red, white, and blue cheatlines running the length of the cabin windows. The word "Douglas" is printed in large letters along the fuselage, while "DC-8" and the manufacturer's logo appear on the vertical tail. All four turbojet engines are mounted beneath the swept wings, clearly emphasizing the aircraft's long-range, four-engine design.

Centered beneath the aircraft is the large promotional headline "Look up to the DC-8," with "DC-8" printed in oversized outlined lettering. A smaller subtitle reads "World's Most Modern Jetliner—Built by Douglas."

Several columns of advertising copy describe the DC-8 as the newest star of the jet age, emphasizing passenger comfort, speed, and engineering innovations. The text highlights Douglas-designed reclining seats intended for passenger relaxation and notes that the aircraft can carry travelers to their destinations at nearly 600 miles per hour. The advertisement encourages readers to "look up to the Douglas DC-8."

A separate column on the right lists airlines that had already ordered the DC-8, including Alitalia, Delta Air Lines, Eastern Air Lines, Japan Air Lines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, National Airlines, Northwest Orient Airlines, Olympic Airways, Panagra, Panair do Brasil, Pan American World Airways, SAS Scandinavian Airlines System, Swissair, Trans-Canada Air Lines, Trans Caribbean Airways, Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux, Union Aéromaritime de Transport, and United Air Lines, underscoring the aircraft's worldwide acceptance.

The bottom half of the advertisement is filled by a vivid photograph of the night sky, showing countless stars and the bright, cloud-like band of the Milky Way stretching diagonally across the image in shades of blue and white. A caption above the photograph reads, "Stars seem almost within reach from the upper sky—Kingdom of the DC-8!"

Well, on the way back I had to go in the overhead bin because my human got assigned 1F. But at least in that small bin over row 1, I don't slide around too much.

When my human's upgrade cleared, there were several seats left to choose from and she intentionally did not pick row 1 because she knows I don't like having to fly in the overhead bin. Over here in 3F, I have plenty of room!
