It's a crisp winter day in July of 1982 and you're headed from your home in Hobart, Tasmania across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand's South Island for a week of skiing at Coronet Peak outside Queenstown. Almost as exciting is the fact that you've decided to splurge and purchase a First Class seat aboard TAA's daily 727 nonstop between Hobart and Christchurch. As you climb the stairway into the good looking orange, blue and white Boeing, you're greeted by a pair of friendly stewardesses, one of whom shows you to your seat on the aisle in row 2. A pre-departure cocktail perhaps? You decide upon a nicely chilled glass of Chardonnay from the Margaret River region of Southwest Australia and turn your attention to the colorful menu and the offerings for today's luncheon service...
