TAA and the Viscount
After the introduction of the F-27s and Electras, and later on the 727/DC-9, what route network did TAA use their Viscount fleet on? Also, were they in an all-economy, all-first or mixed class seating layout?
You have to remember that there was not a "snap" introduction of the jets, unlike what happened in the USA, and sometimes the jet fleet might increase by only one a year, which did little more than absorb growth. Likewise there were only a handful of Electras, so into the late 1960s the Viscounts were running up the Queensland coast, to Canberra, Tasmania, and comparable points.
