Reply to comment by [deleted] in eli5: Why do most airlines still use 2-pin audio jacks for the in-flight entertainment systems on their planes? by JJGLC92

I flew in 2005 to the states as a young boy, they screened movies for everyone on a large screen and some foldable screens in the ceilings, flying long haul as a kid was soooo boring back then.

I remember a cross country flight in late 90s (I think maybe a bit later) that had a crappy VHS player for the movie, the kind that had the jitter noise on the bottom. it was unwatchable, but they would not turn it off as the flight was billed as showing a movie.....

I flew in 98 from France to the states as a.... 4 year old? And all I can remember from that flight was a large screen where they played flubber on repeat.

I flew from Germany to the US sometime around 2002 and they showed a movie with breasts in it on the huge projector screen, about half the parents on the plane scrambled to cover their kids eyes.
