Boarding a Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) Douglas DC-3! ✈️

This vintage postcard captures the early days of California's iconic "Smile Airline" (founded in 1949). Look at those stylish passengers walking right out onto the tarmac to board. No jet bridges, no massive security lines—just pure mid-century aviation charm.
