Reminds me of America West back when they first began flying. Their B737-200 aircraft were in all coach configuration but the cocktails were complimentary. I had a quite a few on my flight from Los Angeles to Colorado Springs via stops at Phoenix and Pueblo.

BTW, nice handle you have there. My very first car was a used 1969 British Racing Green Triumph Spitfire...and my latest vehicle (a BMW M4) is definitely not a lemon!
