It's a fine summer afternoon in August of 1969 as you board National Airlines' attractive DC-8-50, its white fuselage embellished with orange and yellow stripes with the iconic Sun King logo gracing the tail. The twenty recliners in the First Class cabin are upholstered in patterns of colorful yellows and beiges, and the foam padding is as deep and comfortable as any you've ever experienced. Ah... settling into your window seat at 2A, you revel in the wonderfully air-conditioned cabin while accepting a welcome cocktail and a bright yellow menu from the stewardess. It's a three hour flight from Houston to Las Vegas and National's Sun King Service is well regarded for the quality of its inflight catering. Dinner will be served...
