The route only started in Spring 1978, I was on one of the first (it had been running for just a week but was full), and it was allocated one of the initial 747-200/RRs, by that time there were half a dozen of them. Of course, there must have been days when the -100 would suit, whether it was winds, cargo load, or whatever.
