The Glamour of Flight: Sexy Stewardesses, Part 4

"QUANTUM SHOT" #577
Link - by A. Abrams

Another helping of good old times to brighten up your weekend

"There was something in the air in the early years of commercial aviation. Perhaps more excitement, perhaps more glamorous stewardesses... in any case, it's worth savoring once again."...

And once again! This is Part 4 of our extremely popular collection (start with Part 1 here); send us more stories and photos of the wonderful flight experiences you had - this time around we also feature a few modern examples of attractive flight attendants. Let's keep the skies full of smiles and beauty!

Somewhat creepy, no? -

Not really stewardesses, but a good show, nonetheless

The following images are taken either from the advertisements, promotions, films, or exhibition events. The girls shown here are not stewardesses in real life... but the image they convey is worth experiencing:

Certificate of a great experience!

Airline Passenger Certificates: read a detailed article about unique collector's item: Certificates for crossing the ocean in an airplane - issued by early airline companies:

"TWA 1953 certificate awarded for crossing the great Atlantic Ocean on behalf of King Neptune himself" -

Sometimes a stewardess' pretty face was hidden... like in this "survival bag" demonstration:

Russian hostesses from the 1960s right through to the 1980s (and some modern shots) -

Anonymous said...: I certainly can't think of her as my mother... lol; ___
lustyevilgnome said...: Those some really awful hats. Really, really hideous.; ___
Anonymous said...: I miss the old days. I hate the current PC environment-- it's like they give you the privilege of paying for the flight instead of appreciating your business. AND, I hate the PC no-smoking nazis that appear whenever they see something like this-- as if smoking was the worst thing in the today's world.; ___
Anonymous said...: The number 9 pictures are not stewardesses. There hostesses from expo 67 in montreal.
The logo gave it away...

besucher said...: What about the connection of porn and stewardesses? The "literature" of this subject is really great. Check Flight 69, for example.

Kristopher said...: So ... they issued Aeroflot stews with pistols?

Don't mess with them.; ___
Chas S. Clifton said...: I keep looking past the ladies to the airline seats of old, which seem so more more comfortable than today's!; ___
Anonymous said...: To the person who called me a Nazi; I am not a member of the Nationalist Socialist Party.
And I did not comment because of any "PC" tendencies; I spoke up because a friend of mine, a former stewardess, has suffered multiple lung problems and surgeries since her early retirement.
Cigarette smoke is poison and you cannot change that by telling lies about people's motives.; ___
Tennessee Budd said...: Sorry, but there has never been a reliable study proving any link between secondhand smoke and health risks.
I'm not the individual who called the other one a Nazi, but I just thought I'd point that out.; ___
Library Vixen said...: I agree she is unlike any mother I know of. those come hither eyebrows. Meow.; ___
Anonymous said...: @Tennessee: Show me someone with a smoker's afflictions who's never experienced first- or second-hand smoke, and I'll start to care about the lack of studies proving the harm of second-hand smoke.; ___
Flying Boogliodemus said...: Remember... The next time you fly and have to deal with a sour-faced, post-menopausal,hag from hell... These are Them!!!; ___
Anonymous said...: What a plesant surprise to see an old photo of a Delta stewardess, in Part 4, that I nearly divorced my wife for. Should have....; ___
Laura said...: Ah, yes, the good old days. We should definitely bring that back. Luckily women are never, ever actually consumers of commercial flights! So we don't have to worry about the fact that they might want a flight attendant who would be attractive to them, or even might be uncomfortable that the staff's uniforms would be designed to make the women sex objects. Thumbs up for nostalgia!; ___
Anonymous said...: I had a wonderful affair with one of the stewardesses in the Delta photo.; ___
Anonymous said...: Modern Air Transport had once topless stewardesses. I saw a picture in 'Aviation Week and Space Technology'.; ___

Anonymous said...: Those girls are not very attractive. It's the same way like wit Polish Miss World 1989 - I do not know, why she become miss:|
Look at her; ___
Most Popular Books said...: Awesome pictures, stevards have indeed been beautiful throughout tens of years.; ___
Anonymous said...: Is Dark Roasted Blend code for Middle-Aged men?; ___
hot secretaries said...: Ahh the good old days, sexy stewardesses, being able to smoke your head off in flight - and we call the modern day progress!!!; ___
