RE: TAA/Australian DC-9s In The 1980s
They were refurbished in from memory early 80's when the camel hump colors were introduced. Enclosed overhead lockers were installed and I'm sure indirect lighting. Not those 2 exposed strips that used to run the length of the cabin! Something was also done to try and quieten the cabin and I'm sure ...

It was a PITA when the inevitable aircraft change occurred and NLH was put on the flight because of the different config as compared to all the other 744s. I can't remember for the life of me now what the config was. Maybe I've just erased that period from my mind <img src="http://cdn-www.airl...

Just one question from an outsider. Why is it that seemingly a large proportion of the population of the United States is so "wrapped up" in God? This is not meant to start a flame war but it's a serious question. I just done get it.
Maybe someone can explain how all this "God" stuff started.
