It doesn't really matter--it's a great shot whatever the year--but I think this is most likely a Christmas before 1959.... American would probably not have been advertising piston-powered DC7 service so prominently in 1962. AA inaugurated jet service on January 25, 1959, flying its new 707 from LAX to Idlewild/JFK.


Here's the crew posing for a shot before takeoff on the inaugural:

And here's a great shot of a 707 at LAX dated December 26, 1962
