Side view of a twin engined jet airliner moving at speed from right to left along a black runway. The plane is mostly white, with a pale blue belly, and large light and dark blue "FlyBe" titles above 6 coloured dots (2 yellow, 2 red, 2 purple) on the forward fuselage, a design repeated on the sides of the white engine pods mounted under the wings with additional ".com" text at the end. The light and dark blue "FlyBe" titles are repeated in a larger form but without the dots on the rear fuselage and tail. The black registration "G-FBJI" is on the upper rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground, lining the sides of the runway. A pair of large grey hangars dominate the background on the right, behind a large green metal wall. Pale blue sky fills the rest of the frame.

Close-up of the rear fuselage and tail of a jet airliner parked facing to the right of the camera, with a set of built-in airstairs descending from the rear fuselage, between the side mounted engine pods.
The plane is almost entirely white, with small black letters "KGE" at the base of the tail, and larger black letters "SAS" with a gold drop shadow across the width of the tail.
Grey apron behind the tail leads up to a heavily glazed grey building in the background with a white car parked in front on the left of the screen.
Behind that building, green grass leads up to more buildings and trees in the distance.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly a light blue, with a white belly, and red "TUI" titles on the forward fuselage. The white registration ""G-TAWM" is on the upper rear fuselage next to a small British flag. The tail is a slightly different pale blue, with a red smiley face made up of the letters "T", "U", and "I". This same design appears of the upturned wingtips. The white engine pods under the wings have the black web address "TUI.com". Flat white sky fills the rest of the frame.

1968 Boise Airport Postcard - Note the ex-Bonanza Air Lines DC-9, which has moved through the AirWest system and is working an ex-West Coast route.
.
#Airwest #UnitedAirlines #BonanzaAirLines #DC9 #b727 #BoiseIdaho #Airport

This vintage postcard shows a bustling scene at Municipal Airport in Boise, Idaho—1968. The terminal complex stretches horizontally across the middle of the image, its clean mid-century design featuring long rows of windows and a control tower rising above the main building. The tower is painted a pale yellow and topped with antennas and radar equipment, giving it a distinctly Cold War–era airport look.

On the ramp in front of the terminal, several aircraft are parked in an orderly row. Three United Airlines jets—classic Boeing 727s in the airline’s 60's—sit side by side, their white fuselages accented with blue and red striping. Nearby is a bright-orange-tailed aircraft formally belonging to Bonanza Air Lines, instantly recognizable with its bold color and short-haul jet design. At the far right, a smaller turboprop from Air West sits near ground vehicles and service equipment.

The wide concrete apron occupies much of the foreground, with painted lines and markings subtly visible. Beyond the airport, a flat horizon stretches under a deep blue sky, suggesting a clear, dry Idaho day. The postcard captures a moment when regional airports were vibrant crossroads for multiple carriers, illustrating both the optimism and the aesthetic of America’s golden age of jet travel.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, taxiing from right to left along a black taxiway.
The plane is mostly white, with a slivery belly, and blue "JAT" titles on the upper forward fuselage, followed by grey "Yugoslav Airlines" text.
There is black "DC-9" text on the white engine pods, and the black registration "YU-AJH" on the upper rear fuselage, under the tail.
The tail is blue at the front and red at the rear, overlaid with a stylised white flame.
Green grass in the foreground lines the taxiway, as well as runways in the background, , with trees in the distance, slowly vanishing in to haze.

Two more prints I picked up - A Delta 757 and a Republic DC-9. And that was it. I loved it and would go again!
