I dag markerer ti år siden, the Linaten katastrofen. RIP til de fortabte og medfølelse med deres kære.

They somehow missed calling my mother. She found when her mother heard about the crash on "Radioavisen" and told her. She knew all of the crew members on the flight and had often flown that route.

SAS i krise og fremtid (My usual apology for posting in English; fell free to reply in Danish or Norwegian, as I can read those with little difficulty) As readers of this forum are aware, SAS just announce horrible losses. http://politiken.dk/erhverv/article896852.ece...

(my usual apology for posting in English...replies in Danish or Norwegian are fine..I read those languages, just not spell in them) When did SAS end service to Montreal? What equipment was flown at the end? It is so sad to see how many inter-continental destinations are no longer served. LAX...

With FBU's runway less than 8000 feet long (7800?), did SK's FBU-EWR flights have weight restrictions? If so, how severe?

Back when Al Gore was Vice President, he once used a US Airways Shuttle flight from LGA to DCA. "The flight number became "Executive Two." And made the fastest LGA-DCA flight in history! Question for CPH spotters: How many support aircraft were involved? Usually there is a C-5A. And...

Re: Snart dags för DC-8-63 ! Fik "Bodil Viking" i dag og den see godt up mellem min 747 og Caravelle. DC-8 har altid vaeret et "iconic" SAS for mig. Minder om flere flights CPH-PMI med Scanair paa DC-8-30. Og Super 60 til LAX til at besoege min Far's slaegtinge.

Very good point indeed. I was thrilled to see SK having a retroplane! But I do pefer the later version of the Viking ship motif. Anyone know when that was introduced? My guess would be around 1965-66. Is there anyone else who thinks SK's current colors are ugly?
