"Do You Want to Fly in My Jacuzzi?"

No, that is not the world's worst pickup line. The Jacuzzi brothers tried their hands at making airplanes a long time before they hit it with whirlpools.


According to this site, the Jacuzzi J-7 was the first cabin monoplane built in the U.S. It seems to have had less forward visibility than the Spirit of St. Louis (which at least had a periscope). Other sources say that it had seven seats, which made it a pretty large airplane for its day.

    Given the fate of the J7 -- it came apart in mid-air because that giant single wing couldn't handle the stress -- no, I won't take a ride in that Jacuzzi :).
