The caption on this card reads:
"SuperJet of the 'seventies - the new Lockeed TriStar jetliner is designed to meet tomorrow's air travel requirements. The 600 mile per hour (965 kmh L-1011) tri jet will handle from 250 to 345 passengers in a spacious cabin nearly 20 feet wide - with roomier seats more stretch and storage room, and freedom of movement along twin aisles. Food carts, loaded in the underfloor galley will speed service. The wide-cabin TriStar will operate on short, medium and transcontinental rage flights. Extended range versions will span the oceans."
