I've been collecting retro aviation ads for a while now; some of these are from old magazines, some from online sources.

That's a terrific set. Needs more Piedmont, though.

Did you see this post I made earlier today?

Yeah, that's what jogged my memory that I had these.

You'd think I'd have more Piedmont, my uncle started his career with them, and I got some of these from him. I'm looking for more 80s and 90s USAir too, love the burgundy

Are these all scans of print ads?

My older brother is crazy about the 707 series, and once I found a two-page magazine advert featuring an American 707. I framed it and gave it to him for his birthday. We have a yearly event here in Austin (I suppose it's still going on) called the City Wide Garage Sale. It's really more of a show and sale for collectors of memorabilia, and there are always people who have collected thousands of old print ads. You might find a similar sale in your area.

Yeah, scans. My uncle sent me a bunch, probably from Airliner or one of those mags. I actually did find an ad for the 707 someone clipped and framed at our local flea market a while back, that's kinda what started me on this kick.
