First time on a plane?

I flew from East Berlin to Moscow on Interflug, the East German airline, and flew back from Leningrad on Aeroflot. Both used Il-18’s, and both were just as Spartan. The dinner on the flight to Moscow consisted of cold beef and bread served on a metal tray, kind of like those found in high school cafeterias. But on the return trip, breakfast consisted of hard boiled eggs with caviar, which I thought was a treat.

I found out later that the reason that conditions on Soviet airliners were so spartan was so that they could be quickly converted to military use if necessary.

Apparently!..........

I agree. Just being sarcastic since it seems that anything that goes wrong on an airplane is Boeing’s fault - even if it is a tire that blows upon landing.
