Man what a memory that just brought back. I was in Bloemfontein when that plane was flown in there brand new to be christened. If I remember right it was around 1991. After the namegiving ceremony people were allowed to visit the flight deck - first time I ever saw glass cockpit - awesomely motivational stuff for a teenager who dreamed of becoming a pilot. And today I am lucky enough to be calling the 400 my office!
