Sorry folks,not strictly DC9 stuff,but Animalclub is awaiting a reply. The only other hijacking that comes to mind is the TAA Electra VH-TLB, SY-BN,19/7/1960. The hijack was reported as the first in the world(another TAA first!). The guy had a bomb & actually fired a shot from a firearm. Story at TAA Skyjack Dinny Lawrence was a deadheading captain on board who wacked the hijacker on the head with the crash axe. Ahh,crash axes.....is there anything they can't do?
