A PWA "Around the World" Charter left on November 11, 1969. This was the first around the world charter ever instituted in Canada
The crew, who were jetting from country to country, were Gil Tsui, Ole Damsgaard, Isle Buffi, Cory Van Vliet and Diane Paradee. They visited Honolulu, Pago Pago, Australia, Bangkok, Athens, London, etc.
The office staff of In-Flight Services received a postcard from Mr. Tsui (who was shanghaied into taking the trip), telling them what a lovely time the crew was having.

The photo prompted Don Stewart to respond -
A Viscount in the foreground, a Vanguard taxiing out. Way in the distance, parked, I believe is another Vanguard. My Dad worked in the terminal as a Flight Dispatcher and I got to spend a lot of time on the observation deck. It was only a dime for admission.
