By 1969, United had been operating DC-8s for almost ten years, and over that time, it's First Class Red Carpet service had evolved to become one of the finest in the country. As such, you couldn't be more excited as you stroll down the jetway at New York's John F. Kennedy International and step aboard the beautiful DC-8-50, bound for Denver, Colorado. Taking your window seat at 2A, you admire the big, low slung JT3D-3B turbofans while marveling at the comfort of United's large, plush, red upholstered First Class seat. My goodness! This just may be the most comfortable airliner seat you've ever sat in.

A stewardess delivers a nicely chilled glass of United's advertised special - a very dry Gin Martini. As you savor its delicious tang, you take a moment to peruse the luncheon menu for this afternoon's four hour flight. Oh my... this looks very nice indeed...
