With all due respect Adam, I suspect it's the "13 or so years" part that most likely contributes to you not sharing that same sense of nostalgia with old farts like me. I totally agree the tiny bins suck (and they have always sucked - always) ... and I will concede that many of the fins were getting up there in age and thus more prone to going mechanical toward the end ... but it wasn't always that way. Many of us have spent countless happy hours on various '67s and '63s over the years, enjoying their comparative comfort in both Y and J on both domestic hops or longer TATL / TPAC / South American hauls. It was always a treat to find one at the gate unexpectedly ... including this lovely bird which was a personal fav.
I'll miss them all.
