Last flight out of Da Nang... Scary stuff.... Feb 23, 2016 13:36:28 GMT

Hi Guys,

This is pretty scary when you think this was the last plane to leave Da Nang, Vietnam, before the NVA/VC moved in...

Ed Daly (CEO of World Airways) has done some pretty heroic and remarkable things during his life but this has to be one of his most bravest feats.

268 people on a Boeing 727... Amazing!!!

Back in 1979 I was lucky to see his private plane at Oakland, California....

Cheers guys.

Bill

Presumably EasyJet based their original boarding format on that film? LOL
