Vintage New Orleans Airline ads.....Dave's Sim shot......."Aviation Appreciation Society(North American)Convention......Kicks off.........♥

A couple of older Aviation Ads......... "Beckoning" you to fly to New Orleans........I remember when Delta Airlines actually had an office in the Central Business district, in New Orleans.....♥.


The "Delta"....... Blue's.......are alive and well......here...♣




"Continental Airlines"....,

"French Quarter".......'Dauuuuuling'......♥

DAve.......was a bit 'fussy' cause there were no "Jet Airplane's".....in this post.......;b........Since I aim to please.......DAve, I got your Jet plane pic right here..........guess what it's one of the  "Screen"  shots you sent me off your computer the weekend that Giulia flew to New Orleans.........
DAve flew to MSY via Computer "Sim"....... How Cool is that!!!!!!!!!!!
DAve....the bridge shown here is the "Huey P Long" bridge....it isn't the bridge showing.....in the pics of us girls at the Mississippi river....That Bridge is the "Crescent City Connection" bridge.......if you look in the background you see the tall buildings....there is where the CCC bridge  is...can't really see it.......and notice the twists and turns....of Old Man River....
I thought it was the same bridge too....DAve..........♥.



Do you have 6 hours  to kill...........Ha Ha??
