A Boeing 727 streaks across a vivid orange sky in this 1969 United Airlines poster, with the airline's name and the words "Super 727" set below. The illustrator is not named; a copy is held in the SFO Museum Aviation Collection. United was one of the two launch airlines for the Boeing 727, putting the trijet into service in 1964, and by the end of the decade it operated one of the largest 727 fleets in the world. The poster's bold color and simple silhouette capture the confident look of airline advertising at the height of the jet age.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
