McDonnell Douglas F-15 Refrigerators for the Arctic 2-Page Ad

A wonderfully strange corporate portrait: McDonnell Douglas opens with the F-15 Eagle — climbing straight up faster than sound, turning so tight one test pilot said his socks were pulled into his heels — then pivots to writing on the sky with HUDs, converting old DC-8s into freighters, and building 100,000 'Cryo-Anchor' soil refrigerators to keep permafrost frozen under the trans-Alaska pipeline.

Provenance & Condition

This is an original print advertisement, carefully removed from an authentic January 9, 1978 issue of Aviation Week — not a reproduction. 48 years old, with the paper tone and character of a genuine press run. Approximate size 17" x 11".

What's Included

Every order ships with bonus clippings from the same issue and a curated report of what was making aerospace news that week — a snapshot of the world this ad first appeared in.
