Oh my good that was 2 years before Star Wars

I guess I know now from where George Lucas get some of his ideas...my god those 70s were...weird times?

 

[Skybolt]

Sixties were even weirder...

Ok, ok, I'm joking

In Naval Fighters volume about Super Tiger I read that the F-104 won all the international orders over the Super Tiger (which was far more better fighter-bomber) because Lockheed had a great marketing team. After reading this ad I'm sure. Lockheed had a superb marketing team!!!!

After reading this ad I'm sure. Lockheed had a superb marketing team!!!!

Well, it depends on were the marketing borders are supposed to end... :-X
And, regarding that advtertising, in Italy we say "Hanno la faccia come il culo" ;D :

Where's Miles Monroe?

Reading the video comments, I see that someone long ago beat me to the butt scratching comment about 0:42. That we turned our backs on the idea of the SST, and more efficient means of ground transportation over the years is not just unfortunate, but perhaps a detriment to America as a whole. Consider how high speed rail is doing in the U.S., as well.

Our future passed is a lot like "Our New York" in Charles Carpentier's Flight One. It would have been wonderful, but we won't be there...
