P.S. Hey, Coop, thanks for stopping in for a visit. Oh, and by the way, you must've accidentally dropped this referral while you were rifling through my liquor cabinet...;-)

Have a gander at this wonderful website dedicated to the utterly fab Boeing 377 Stratocruiser. Click on the image above to check out a larger cutaway image of the plane, and note the "Lower-deck Hawaiian Lounge". Mai Tais at 30,000 ft.? I'm there!

And don't miss the amazing collection of scanned airline articles and brochures. I'm particularly fond of From Sky Queen to Beachcomber, the tale of a gorgeous airline stewardess, Mary Kathleen Dunne, whose weekly commute between San Francisco and Waikiki takes her from well-known eating places on Fisherman's Wharf, to Don the Beachcomber's thatched-roof emporium.

If this was the Golden Age of Air Travel, then we're definitely living in the Rancid Cat Poop Age today.
