Time for a pulp countdown now, and today it's my top 10 funky flight attendant uniforms!

This thread may involve go-go boots...

At #10: Lufthansa! This uniform was styled on the condiment dispensers at Tempelhof Airport.

At #9: Caledonian Airlines! This look was later used in the film Heathers.

At #8: Southwest Airlines! Here we can see cabin crew explaining to the confused CEO which way the sky is.

At #7: Air France! A natty little knitted outfit that of course includes a beret.

At #6: El-Al! An interesting choice, putting your crew in uniforms they can't actually walk in.

At #5: Transair! Mustard capes and soft felt top hats makes a trip with Transair feel like a night at the opera. A psychedelic opera, but there you go.

At #4: United Airlines! A Mary Quant dress and a truckers cap - what a pairing!

At #3: Braniff Airways! They do look like Batman TV series villains...

At #2: Alaska Airlines! "Ra-Ra-Rasputin..."

And at #1: Hawaiian Airlines! Book 'em Danno!

More pulp countdowns another time. Must fly...
