Bullfights in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, Plaza Monumental. Juarez is just the other side of El Paso, Texas. September 4, 1966. Pepe Luis Vazquez and Gabino Aguilar. Sunny side only $1.00. Shady side, $2.00. That cracks me up, but it makes sense. This was in some stuff from my grandfather. It looks more like a postcard advertisement than a ticket, which is what I first thought it was.

A very nice picture postcard of a Boeing 727 from Continental Airlines. I don’t know if this was given out on the plane or sold in an airport gift shop.

If you like planes, be sure to check out the Kelly Aviation Library. I’ve done the writing for it.
