Nice to see AC jet service returning to YSJ, even if it is ACr.

Here’s an interesting coincidence for you. I took my first flight ever in April 1975 from YSJ to YUL (also in a DC9) with a bunch of guys from university (attending UNBSJ at the time). We went to Montreal to see the Expos play the Pirates. While there we managed to snag nose-bleed tickets to see game 5 of the Habs-Canucks quarter finals. The Habs won in OT (Lafleur scored the winner) and sent the Canucks home for the year. The total cost of my return flight was $50!
Oh, and the Expos swept the 2-game series from the Bucs, which was quite the feat since the Bucs finished first in the division that year and the Expos were dead last.
