Ahh... it's a beautiful autumn evening in September 1969 as you stroll down the jetway to board United's flight 15, nonstop DC-8 Jet Mainliner service from New York to Los Angeles. Your excitement is practically tangible as this is your first time flying aboard United's highly regarded Red Carpet First Class Service. An attractive young stewardess welcomes you, inspects your boarding pass and shows you to your seat on the window at 2A. The red upholstered seats are wide and exceptionally well padded, perhaps the most comfortable First Class seat you've ever sat in. A nicely made Whisky Sour is delivered along with a packet of Mauna Loa Macadamia nuts Mmmm! Shortly thereafter a large red and white menu is presented with details on tonight's feast to be served on the five hour and forty-one minute flight to Los Angeles. You take another long pull off your drink as you then open the menu to peruse the culinary delights within...
