Bare hostess ... cabin girl Hillary Vinson on Hooters' maiden flight

SEXY hostesses have taken off plenty for the debut of a new airline — called Hooters Air.

Cabin girls wore tight vests and hotpants on the maiden flight of the US service which calls itself “delightfully tacky”.

Boss Robert Brooks, who already has a chain of 330 Hooters restaurants, said: “We aim to bring fun back to flying. We’re politically incorrect and everyone knows it.”

No plane Janes ... Hillary and colleague Cameron Brooks

Robert hopes to lure golfers and other sportsmen away from rival airlines with £80 flights from Atlanta to the resort town of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

But analyst Henry Harte-veldt called it a “stupid idea” at a time when some airlines are struggling.

He said: “I expect they’ll go bust.”

One picture worth thousand words...

It will be interesting to see how the history books will handle the sudden revitalization
of American civil aviation (or at least part of it!) during the middle of tensions
over Gulf War II...

Actually, there was a good four-part documentary on PBS about American civil aviation.
One of the best segments was about the creation of Southwest Airlines..."The Love Airline"
(IIRC).
The special showed some 1970s-era adverts of the Southwest Airline stewardesses
in their hot-pants outfits drooling lascivious enticements to future Southwest fliers.

This was stuff that got aired in Bible Belt Texas...but wouldn't be aired today
thanks to the "church ladies" of our era, the Political Correctness Thought Police...amazing...

Just run the ticket of Hillary! (Vinson) and Dubya as Vice President in 2004.

Hillary Clinton will never know what hit her as you fails to carry a single state.

The girls are a nice addition.....

Yeck? I can think of a lot of words to describe hooter babes, but "Yeck" taint one of em.....

Since when did exercising your rights as a business owner become being "very discriminate?"

Once Saddam is vaporized and it's time for the UK, Austalian, and allied
troops are ready to come home...

I hope some American Billionaire will charter a couple of Hooter Airs and their
charming stewardesses to make the home-bound flight very pleasant.

Hey, it might not be as naughty as the "Blind Date" show, but at least the
scenery would be nice...

Pedophilia Airlines?
Never heard of a pedophile going after 22-25 yr old women, but if you say so.

Looks like we are going to have to take MadIvan to a Hooters next time he's in New York. To do research of course.

Hmm..you guys will do anything to get me to New York ;-)

She was talking about the guy with the Wally Walrus facial hair. Looks like one of my dad's pothead friends.

I wish Hooters all the luck and I hope we're seeing a new day in commercial aviation.

A little more from Newsday, March 1st: Should Be a Hoot

Jokes, however, are exactly what concerns the Washington, D.C.-based Association of Flight Attendants. Spokeswoman Dawn Deeks said passenger safety is the group's main concern, and if Hooters Girls are helping to serve, then passengers may assume they also have flight attendant training, which could be a problem in an emergency.

Hooters Air, however, insists it's no gimmick. Flights, classified as "public charter," will be operated by Pace Airlines, the Winston-Salem, N.C.-based carrier that Brooks bought at the end of last year. The 112 seats are all coach and all leather, Hooters says.

What a wonderful add. The guy that runs Hooters is a very smart guy. it is wonderful to see Beautiful women being Beautiful women.

[doosee]

The guy that runs Hooters is a very smart guy

Hooters was founded by a couple of Clemson grads, note the Clemson orange. They were cash strapped and sold out to the guy who owns them now. He is about 80 years old and lives in Myrtle Beach, SC. Long live the free enterprise system!!!!!

It's interesting what one will find when one Googles on "Girls of Krispy Kreme"

[OregonRancher]

My wife and I went to a Hooters for lunch one day. She loved the girls and told me that as far as she was concerned, "If you got it, flaunt it for all its worth."
Man, do I love my wife.

What about the British reputation as stuffed shirts?

You've obviously never met me after a wine tasting. ;)

I don't think that is what we had in mind.

[TontoKowalski]

Gatun and I will only fly that airline if the stewards are named Tonto Kolowski. ;-)

Tonto, you've been paged. : )

Ladies, may I demonstrate the upright and locked position?

I live to service. Uh, serve.
