Someone could make a good parody of these photos--modern passengers wearing gymsuits, cramped into tiny seats, huddled in the terminals on the floor charging their phones, walking in our socks through security, and carrying huge bags because of the checking fees.
Very good job with these pictures, good comparison in each pic. The aircraft changed a lot, but the people are still the same, just the latest clothing etc. Very nice presentation.
Close.. LOL, but I am not quite a walking fossil.. I did get to ride Jump seat in a clipper and the CoPilots seat of a B17... Captain gave me about 45 minutes of stick time on the B17 and that was great.
Computer(s) & data devices changed a great deal as well. I was amused one photo has identical pose and body language between three Stews and in the old one a girl is offering a look at a mirror, in the newer she is offering a smart phone...
I believe the dating on slide 2. Note the "bleed ring" at the very front of the nacelle, and though it is hard to see the exhaust rings and thrust reversers look like sound suppression technology retrofitted to 707s in the 80s. The theory is similar to the CFM engines fitted to the military C-137 family later on. High pressure bypass air is ducted aft to the exhaust section and used to induce airflow like smoke rings around the exhause flow. It worked well enough that "quiet" engines today use similar concepts, much improved of course.
I seem to recall Lufthansa first flying into Idlewild in NYC in 1955, using the Lockheed 1049C - with wing-tip fuel tanks (the first I'd ever seen). I believe most, if not all, pilots were American at that time. Congratulations to a truly wonderful enterprise.
(And please, folks, it's Luft-hansa, not Luf-thansa.)
Photo 8 - one of the pax has obviously been waiting too long , he now has a tree growing out of his head. Overall, these pics look so "posed" and stiff. Typical of Lufthansa - they must have some evocative photos of their fleet tucked away in their archives?
