A ground avoidance radar, also more commonly known as a terrain-following radar, is a technology that allows low-flying aircraft to maintain a safe altitude above ground level. The image on the button appears to be an older version of the GAR, though it can still be seen on the cover of the IDF GAR Ground Avoidance Radar Owner’s Manual.

The Season brand began in the Northeast with a Polish immigrant who sold specialty products to grocery stores in the 1920s. The merchant became known for high quality ingredients and by the 1950s, Season products, particularly canned seafood, were household staples. Today, Season sells a wide variety of canned sardines, mackerel, salmon, caviar and kipper.

Disneyland, which opened in 1955, was the first theme park built by the Walt Disney Company. It was the brainchild of Walt Disney, who was influenced by visiting various amusement parks with his children, his father's memories of the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, and the House of David's Eden Springs Park in Michigan. Disney envisioned a destination for adults and their children to have fun together. Today, Disneyland has the largest cumulative attendance of any theme park in the world. It has seen over 650 million guests since its opening.

Goofy is one of the original characters from Disney's Mickey Mouse animated cartoons and remains popular today. During his first appearance in the 1932 cartoon Mickey's Revue, he was known as Dippy Dawg. He was re-envisioned later that year as a younger dog, appearing as Goofy for the first time in The Whoopee Party.

In 1977, a Volvo car show in Pennsylvania advertised a 7th Anniversary Sale. The tagline for the advertisement was “Looking Good,” and the sale was held over the course of three days in November. There were special deals on the new 1977 Volvos, and refreshments and beverages were served at between 5:00 and 9:00 PM. The company hosting the sale was called Ertle Volvo, located at 798 N. 9th St., Stroudsburg Pennsylvania. 

The cold war took place from 1946 to 1991, and the 1970s were still in the midst of the tension between communist and democratic states. Volvo was a Swedish company, and Sweden was neutral, or “un-aligned” during the cold war conflict. Volvo was a major car producer in Europe at the time, and a proposed merger with Saab-Scania in 1977 was widely discussed news. The merger proposal was dropped, as the Saab-Scania company was not interested in merging.

The airplane character featured on this button is depicting the "Pan Am Smile," named for the greeting stewardesses gave to passengers. 

Commonly known as "Pan Am", Pan American Airways was the largest airline in the United States from its inception in 1927 to its collapse in 1991. Its first flights were scheduled passenger and mail service between Key West, Florida, and Havana, Cuba. Over the years, Pan Am aircraft were involved in a number of accidents, terrorist attacks, and hijackings, the most notable of these perhaps being a runway collision between two Boeing 747's in Tenerife, Spain. The crash killed 538 people, making it the most deadly incident in aviation history, and led to changes in the industry regarding safety and communications protocol. The international air travel industry attributes the use of jumbo jets and computerized reservation systems, along with other innovations, to Pan Am. The company declared bankruptcy in January 1991 and by December of the same year, Pan Am ceased all operations.

American Airlines has been in business since 1936 and was first known as American Airways. Charles Lindbergh flew the first American Airlines flight, delivering U.S. mail from St. Louis, Missouri to Chicago, Illinois in 1926. Founder C.R. Smith worked together with Donald Douglas to create the first passenger plane, the DC-3 in 1936 beginning a new industry.

The first flights were out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The company has since expanded to offer flights to 350 destinations in 50 countries.

American Airlines red and blue AA logo with the eagle was first designed in 1968 by Massimo Vignelli of Unimark. The logo was seen painted onto the tails of American Airlines’ planes until 2013 when the company rebranded to a new minimalist red and blue eagle head design. The tails of post-2013 planes are painted with the stripes of the American flag.
