Hi!
I was wondering what sort of rare, unusual, flight safety card(s) do you own. Currently I am trying to obtain a flight safety card from Ariana Afghan Airlines. Does anyone have any advice for my quest? I have written to Ariana many times, but they always tell me that they cannot send me a card. Can anyone offer any assistance? Thank you.

Hi! I also tried to get Ariana safetycards from the Airline, but they told me that they don't use their 727s and so they don't have safetycards, and on the An24s for domestic flights they never had them. Best regards, Clemens!

I have been collecting safety cards longer than I care to admit. Some of the rarest I have are some of the old Trans-Canada Air Lines propliners. Viscount and Vanguard of course, but even back to the L1049 and the DC-4M North Star.
One of my favourites is an Air Canada Boeing B2707 SST, taken from a cabin mock-up that was at an exposition.

The only rare ones I can think of are -
TAA DC-9-31
The complete set of QF cards in service circa 1988 (747-200B, 747-200B Combi, 747-338, 747SP, 767-238, 767-338)
An original QF 747-238B one from the 1970s
There's one other, but I can't remember the airline - it was from one of the charter birds that was in Australia in the pilots strike in 1991.
I do quite enjoy a spot of flying - more so when it's not in Economy!

I only have one safety card, and it is probably pretty rare now. It is from an Ansett Australia B727-277 (VH-ANA) and was "souvenired" after it made it's last ever passenger flight.

Oh, I see what you're saying. Still, a T9 card will become more rare, especially considering no more are they.
Rarest plane type...probably a NW DC-10....
