Gay Beautiful Buenos Aires - Aerolineas Argentinas

Aerolíneas Argentinas (English: Argentine Airlines), formally Aerolíneas Argentinas S.A., is Argentina's largest airline and the country's flag carrier. The airline was created in 1949 from the merger of four companies, and started operations in December 1950. A consortium led by Iberia took control of the airline in 1990, and Grupo Marsans acquired the company and its subsidiaries in 2001, following a period of severe financial difficulties that put the airline on the brink of closure. The company has been run by the Argentine government since late 2008, when the country regained control of the airline after it was taken over from the Spanish owners. As of December 2014, Aerolíneas Argentinas was state-owned. It has its headquarters in Buenos Aires.

It is clearly a city with much activity as well as being situated close to beaches for relaxation. In the post-World War II period, as the economies of the world strengthened so did the growth of tourist travel aided by the development of newer and quicker, more comfortable aircraft.
This poster includes a small depiction of the Douglas DC - 6 airplane which was the fastest and most comfortable commercial propeller plane of that era.
