1. Identify the airline that made this statement in a 1960 advertisement:
80% OF THE SERVICE WE OFFER IS ON JET-POWERED PLANES!
The air carrier in question claimed it was operating the highest percentage of jet-power service of all airlines in its operational area at the time. And for bonus points, name the two aircraft types referred to in this ad.
Initially I wondered if Cathay Pacific were c.80% by this time as they were keen to go 100% in the early 60s. But no... I believe we're looking at Continental as they were aggressively buying jets in the late 50s. I've not seen the ad (or don't remember...) so I'll guess B707 for one but no idea about the other. Are we looking at a pure jet or turboprop?
