I remember the 747 "Bird of Paradise". In the lat 1980's, to stave off bankruptcy I think, HP offered $50? flights to anywhere and people lined up around the airport to buy them. It was a one day only sale and you could fly anywhere. My father bought 4 tickets to HNL. We flew Y of course, but I recall macadamia nuts, chicken breast, free alcohol, and menus!
