How times have changed, no air bridge in those days and just look at the price of a new boeing compared with todays prices
New Flagship of the Ansett-ANA fleet – the 3 million pound Boeing 727 Fan-Jet VH-RME begins scheduled inter-capital services this month, on November 2nd.
The magnificent three-engine jet which provides the greatest passenger comfort of any aircraft of its type in the world, arrived in Australia from the United States on Friday, October 16th 1964.
The cabin is so quiet that the pilot has an indicator light to tell him when the engines have started. He also has some Sperry-made equipment which tells him of the almost imperceptible engine vibration level.
