In 1968 the options for flying nonstop between Geneva and Teheran are limited to Swissair, Swissair and Swissair via three weekly flights aboard Swissair's comfortable DC-8 jets. Tonight it is your pleasure to be sat aboard HB-IDA, Swissair's very first DC-8-33. Your cream colored recliner is wide, deep and comfortable and the view of the two Pratt & Whitney JT4A's out your huge window is one of the most iconic in aviation. Dinner will be served on tonight's five and a half hour flight to Teheran. Your mouth can't help but water in anticipation as you peruse the culinary delights outlined within the pages of the large, colorful menu. Accepting a refill on your Champagne, you turn your attention to the menu...
