nostalgia

I remember. "Out of town contestants for Queen for a Day are flown to Los Angeles on the "Friendly Skies of United Airlines".
Briefly seen in fine print at the bottom of the screen: "The friendly skies" is a registered trademark of UAL Inc. Unauthorized use will be prosecuted and may result in fines/ and or your imprisonment.
Always gave me a warm fuzzy feeling.
It feels kind of reassuring that that same, big corporate heart was evident even way back then.
