Beautiful picture...

Ahh, God old times!

First thing I noticed with the picture is the relaxation and no high-alert security

Such a shame the world got so hostile as it is today

Great photo!

Dutch heritage.a klm dc8 is like the 707 for pan am in those days.vintage indeed

A visitor from United States posted Sun June 6, 2010:
Wow, I have been looking for a DC-8 cabin picture with the in-seat reading lights for years. This one of a KLM cabin makes it extra special. It is difficult to describe how much more comfortable travel was back then. And yes, airliners were rarely 100% full!

A visitor from United States posted Fri December 25, 2009:
Thank you for this vintage DC-8 photo. It has been very hard for me to find images of the early DC-8 cabins with those Palomar seats, curtains and corner reading lights.

Those little boxes are reading lights...

A visitor from United States posted Sun February 1, 2009:
What are those little boxes next to the heads of the passengers? They look like speakers. Was this common in that time period?
