Cute.
Got to fly on one of these back in 1971, from London to Zurich.
The plane had to take a long way around, via Amsterdam, because
European airspace was clogged on the direct point-to-point route.
Very lucky you got to fly on the Swissair Convair 990. That is a type I missed, along with the Convair 880. Growing up in Vancouver in the 1970s they were not available for flights here. And not many were built. The Convair jets were retired by the big airlines in the wake of the 1973 oil crisis.
