Haha. Thanks. Yes, my wife and I bought her the DVD (pretty sure it only lasted one season). She DID marry a pilot, but not a fixed wing pilot. My father was a helicopter pilot for Air America.

Nice picture. Legendary Company. Did she watch the Pan Am Series.
And one cliche question:
Married to a Pilot?

Please show me where the improper grammar hurt you. You understood what I meant though, yes? Oh good. I guess the point still came through.

I also got the same Christmas present in 1990. I remember not even knowing of the movie's existence, so it was a huge surprise.
I must have ruined that tape with the amount of times I watched it. on repeat I always had that one, some video of the Smurfs, and Muzzy teaching me English.

Nothing, but the term stewardess fell out of favor years ago (probably 30), I think primarily because of its gender connotation (even though steward is a word) and the rise in male flight attendants. Now flight attendant is used and you don’t have to gender the term.

What‘s the difference between a stewardess and a flight attendant?

Plot twist: he's still a time traveler, but this photo was taken in 2087.

This is so adorable and cute. It is nuts the standards they imposed on women back then.
But she looks super happy and I love seeing younger photos of people back then.
In a lot of ways they were so different than they are today of course. Gives you a glimpse into their life in the past.

This is my mother when she was a "stewardess" for Pan Am circa 1966 (she WILL correct you if you say flight attendant). I had the photo colorized a few years ago. The stories that she tells -about how in order to be a stewardess at the time you had to be a certain weight and height (and you'd get a write up and put on an action plan to lose weight if you were too heavy), had to wear stockings, and COULDN'T be married (and if you did get married, it was called "marrying out" - which she did) - are outrageous. She has Alzheimer’s now, but before, during and after being a stewardess, she travelled all corners of the world for many years and those are some of the best memories she still has and loves to talk about traveling.
