SWM

filler filler. It still flies in Germany and Australia on scheduled services. Very cramped (1.35M diameter) but fine as soon as you sit down.


nobody has ever died from hard work, but why take the risk?

The Metro's Identifier is SW4.

It also continues (unfortunately) to fly up here in Alaska . . . most uncomfortable thing I've ever flown in . . . .
