70s Spots: United Airlines ‘Hawaii’ (Brian Forster) & TWA 747s (Lou Jacobi, 1970)

Brian Forster preps for ‘The Partridge Family.’

“Fly the friendly skies of United.”

Two spots today from the top of the decade featuring those newfangled 747 planes. First, we have a United Airlines “Hawaii Service” commercial starring Brian Forster from The Partridge Family. The spot aired in September of 1970.

Second, a spot for TWA featuring two old timers (one being Lou Jacobi) reminiscing about DC-3s and flying in the 1930s. This one aired a few months earlier in April of ’70.
