And no "thin-king".

 

For 17 years – from 1953 until 1970 – United ran daily flights that didn’t allow women. These men‑only trips were branded “The Executive” (“The Chicago Executive” / “The New York Executive”), and later there was a west coast flight between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Marketed as “a club in the sky—For Men Only,” the service featured first class seating, steak dinners, cocktails, complimentary cigars, slippers, teletype business news with closing market quotes, and a “last‑minute message” service before pushback.
Women (other than the stewardesses) and children were not allowed. The service began on DC‑6B “Mainliners,” later shifting to Sud‑Aviation Caravelle VI‑R jets in an all‑first‑class 64‑seat 2‑2 layout.
After complaints (including a 1969 NOW protest and federal regulatory filings) and declining loads, United ended the service January 14, 1970.

 

Viewed from the other side (or reflected in a coy pond) it resembles the ancient Buddhist symbol manji. But you'd have to be taking notes on how the reflection appeared on at least four clear night a year to "see" it.

 

The drums are high octane gas for those thirsty outboards.

The drugs are in the box between to keep everything $$$ dry.

 

The end of an era. The ancient roots of wokeness .

 

That was my thought too. Many ancient peoples used the symbol before ... uh... you know.
