I used to fly Lax-Bkk with my dad on this flight, it would go around the world and stop in NRT-HKG-BKG and on... Always running late, Always FILTHY and always FUN! We used to run like hell to beat the cerfew at Kia Tac at midnight, sometimes the flight was an overnighter in hong kong, and some times it would sleep in bangkok. Many times we would hit the gate in hong kong and the catering gang would damn near rip the doors off to slam out the bins and trays and reload this old dog and have it back in the air before the tower shut down the field. My dad showed me what the design of the carpit was under my seat, the rest of the traffic areas were so black with filth that you could not make it out. These were great times and full of action! I hope any of you who remember these days will chime in.
