Do you know when the first commercial flight went smokeless? 1973
Did you know, that in 1969, when smoking was allowed on all flights, we put a man on the moon?!?

They look perfectly unposed and somewhat timeless. I am a little concerned for the person in the row behind them who's looking at your Opa like he/she wishes they could be that cool.

Back in the day when everyone checked their bags I guess, what with 0 overhead storage.

Back when folks dressed up to travel. I remember flying from New Orleans to St. Louis in the late 70s. My mom had me in a three piece suit. LOL

Dude is hoping her dress keeps creeping up so he can turn this into a real pleasure garden.

We had a Rotor at Geauga Lake growing up. It was my favorite ride because you could just stay on without getting off and waiting in line again.

We have 3 seperate varieties of this at our state fair:
One looks like a flying saucer you get inside. Pretty much no rules, and you always have some brave soul that stands on the backrest with their head toward the center so that they are horizontal with the ground.
Another tilts up at like a 45° angle part way through the ride and you can only stand against your backrest. If the ride fails, there's a flimsy little waist-high chain to "hold" you in.
The last one looks like what is portrayed in this picture with one continuous carpeted wall. The floor drops down while you are stuck to the wall, and you can get horizontal like the girl in the picture. Eventually they slow the ride and you slowly slide down the wall to the lowered floor.

The one on the far right could be a Nick Kroll character.

Also a feature of the Festival of Britain Pleasure Garden, The Rotor spun riders until the centrifugal force pinned them to the walls. You can find this type of ride at many parks today, though it's probably harder to do a full-horizontal the way this rider is attempting.

Granted, she's holding the weight but he's helping with the lifting.
