1965 San Diego Airport Postcard
.
#SanDiego #PacificSouthwestAirlines #PSA #VintageAirport #AirportInterior #California #AviationHistory #TerminalArchitecture #oldpostcards #TravelPostcard #InteriorArchitecture #Avgeek #VintageTravelPhoto #Airportarchitecture @airportarchitecture.byerussell.com
The image is a color postcard interior view of the San Diego Airport terminal showing a Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) service area. A low counter labeled PSA and INSURANCE runs along the left side; a small illuminated sign reading INSURANCE hangs above an attendant’s station where a man leans with luggage. The terminal’s coffered ceiling and square hanging clock are visible overhead. To the right a directional sign reads “To Gates 9 through 14” above two arched shopfronts stocked with goods. A uniformed figure—possibly an airline or naval employee—stands near a wall panel in the middle distance. The spacious terrazzo or tiled floor, mid-century modern architectural details, and sparse passenger activity give the scene a 1960s–1970s travel-era atmosphere. Photo credit printed on the card: Photography: Ed Royce.

1980 TWA Boeing 747SP-31 Postcard
.
#Avgeek #TWA #Boeing747SP #JumboJet #ClassicAirliners #AviationHistory #WidebodyJet #747Sp #VintageAviation #AirlinerPhotography #HistoricLivery #CommercialAviation #AviationHeritage #Postcards #Travel
The image shows a Trans World Airlines (TWA) wide-body jet airliner, specifically a Boeing 747SP, in flight against a dark background that appears to be land or sea far below. The aircraft features TWA’s classic red-and-white livery: a white fuselage with a thick red cheatline bordered by thin stripes, the words TRANS WORLD in red block lettering on the forward fuselage, and a tall red vertical stabilizer with TWA in bold white letters. The 747SP’s shortened fuselage and distinctive single-deck hump ahead of the wing are clearly visible. All four engines are mounted beneath the wings. The registration number is visible near the tail section. The lighting suggests a daylight image with even illumination across the aircraft.

1971 Swissair 747 Postcard
.
#Avgeek #Swissair #Boeing747 #JumboJet #Aviation #AviationHistory #WidebodyAircraft #CommercialAviation #HistoricAirliners #AircraftPhotography #b747 #JetAirliner #ClassicJets
The image shows a Swissair wide-body jet airliner, a Boeing 747, captured during its initial climb after takeoff. The aircraft is painted in the classic Swissair livery: a white fuselage with a red cheatline containing a thin gold accent, the name SWISSAIR in dark lettering on the forward fuselage, and a red vertical stabilizer displaying a white cross, the Swiss national symbol. All four engines are visible under the wings, and the main landing gear remains fully extended. The nose landing gear is also deployed. The sky above is clear and blue, and the terrain below includes tree-covered hills at the edge of the frame. The aircraft registration is visible on the tail. The photograph appears to be taken from a low angle, emphasizing the underside structure, engine nacelles, landing gear assemblies, and wing sweep.

1980 Air Polynésie de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter Postcard.
.
#AirPolynesie #TwinOtter #DHCTwinOtter #PacificAviation #VintageAviation #IslandHopping #TahitiTravel #FrenchPolynesia #SouthPacificLife #AviationHistory #oldPostcards #IslandAirport #Avgeek #PolynesiaVibes #AviationPhotography
A de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter of Air Polynésie sits on a sunlit island airstrip, framed by swaying palms and turquoise lagoon waters. Its cream-colored fuselage, marked F-OCLV, features the airline’s signature red tiare flower logo on the tail. A small crowd of passengers—some in bright island clothing, others in casual travel attire—gather at the open cabin door as they board or disembark. Children wander near the aircraft while adults wait in the warm, powdery coral sand that serves as the terminal ramp. Behind the plane, a thatched-roof hut blends seamlessly with the tropical setting, embodying the charm of remote Polynesian airfields. The sky is brilliantly blue, dotted with soft white clouds, and a steep, lush island peak rises in the distance. The scene captures the relaxed rhythm of inter-island travel in the South Pacific during the golden age of Air Polynésie, when the Twin Otter was the lifeline connecting scattered atolls and volcanic islands.
