You just knew that the aircraft would be fine and safe I have enjoyed all seating areas. I was not sad though, to see the end of those dreadful 'air-tube' headphones. Although to my 18 year old self, they and the film were a great development!
Mention of the one in Joburg that met the building in the dark, it was parted out on site. But I found it very comforting that the building was severly wrecked and, whilst the wing was buried in the building, the fuel tanks held and the wing stayed attached. Old school metal and yes I know they took a lot of go juice to haul that along - but it was worth it! That machine changed commercial aviation in ways that Boeing and PanAm could never have imagined.
