This article in a recent issue of Simple Flying brought back many wonderful memories....

I am fortunate enough to have flown on Air India 707s (Lhotse, Makalu, Dhaulagiri) in their heyday in 1965-66, before the government had succeeded in destroying the airline.

JRD was still Chairman and Kooka was still producing the wonderful marketing material with the newly introduced Maharajah. I also loved the livery that the AI 707s carried.

Things went progressively downhill soon after that.Service on AI 747s and other aircraft never quite rose to the level seen on the 707s. Maybe that will change now that Air India is back in the hands of the Tatas.
