This is a print ad from 1959 for Boeing. The large caption is "Fast friend of over three-quarters of a million passengers." Remember when that might have seemed like a big number? Given the number of flights daily around the world (80k - 90k) and Boeing's massive presence in the airliner industry, there could easily be 3/4 million passengers on Boeing planes in the sky at any given time. But I'll bet none of them are on 707s
The rest of the copy reads:
One flight aboard the Boing 707, and you know why this xxxx jetxxxx is the most popular airliner in aviation history. xxxx [can't make out very much of this] xxxx More than three-quarters of a million passengers have already enjoyed this tranquil, but exhilerating, new way to travel. Make your next trip by Boeing 707!
