Plus, you got a set of plastic wings, playing cards and got to visit the cockpit mid-flight.
I call that fabulous
Fabolous yes. I remember when I had to clean out my parent's home in the old country and came across those plastic wings, the small toy plastic DC-9 and DC-8 planes, playing cards, that 70's colorful ashtray, cribbage game, I did not know that my dad collected these as well as countless AC spoons, cups, etc. (relax AC security he's long gone now). I had my own AC collection so I sold everything on eBay and it went quickly. Today I probably could have a very cool AC historic museum room in my place and be a super AC geek, lol.
Still remember as a young man having access to places today that would freak out Transport Canada and the RCMP. God I do sound like my grandparents when I say Simpler days and those were the days, lol. So many of todays AV geeks have no idea what we had and enjoyed back then.
Ok its late, need to take my Ovaltine and a nap now,
