Western Airlines PHOENIX Poster now on eBay

Beautiful poster from the 1970s - early 1980s featuring Phoenix, Arizona, one of Western Airlines' many destinations. Alas, the airline is no longer around. But the company's memories live on in the minds of its former employees, and physically in the form of memorabilia such as this poster!

Check out Wally Bird on the golf ball in the foreground, in his typical on-the-back tail seat, as he sips a glass of bubbly, saying "Western Airlines...the only way to fly."

The bidding begins at $19.99, a small price to pay for priceless memories.

March brings SNOW

It's almost spring, but can you believe it?, it snowed last night...and the snow stuck! Luckily I didn't have to leave the house early early, so by the time I DID leave, the roads were clear, and the snow just brushed off my car.

Wally Bird Sticker AND Western Airlines Wings!

Well, well, well... what do you know now? Here's Wally - an embossed-type sticker with no more stick to it from the "good ol' days" of Western Airlines ilk. (Ilk, that's a word, isn't it? Something I haven't heard in a long time - like the name of the old airline company Western Airlines -- that's been gone a while too...)

In any event, check it out! And the bidding begins at a mere PENNY! One cent US. "Why bother," you may ask. My answer: "Someone might want to reminisce with these two items, wouldn't you think, perhaps?" Just a thought...

Auction starts today, Tuesday, July 26th, and ends on Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011.

Something to think about at least, or mull over "the only way to fly" from days long gone...
