Here's a photo of a South African Airways / Suid-Afrikaanse Lugdiens plane at the old Louis Botha Airport - Durban's international airport of old. The photo probably dates back to the early 60s and represents our mode of travel in decades past. Note the three vertical stabilisers/tri-tail and rear entry stairs.
The second photo is my electronic travel (visa) approval for my visit to the States later this month for my seaplane rating at Lake Havasu, Arizona. No longer is a formal visa required, nor a visit to the Embassy, and was completed and approved online within minutes and on payment of an application fee of R150. The travel authorisation was granted under the USA's visa-waiver programme with various participating countries. That's convenience for you and the new way to travel smart.
