Don’t know where you were 40 years ago today, but I was flying at somewhere around 30,000 feet on board TE558, an Air New Zealand flight DC-8 (ZK-NZA, if you must know) between Auckland and Los Angeles via Papeete.
And the captain piped the live broadcast of the lunar module touchdown via the PA system into the cabin.
Can’t get much closer to the action than that….


>And I was flying to Paris to meet up with the Borowsky family from Stuttgart for a visit to their cottage on Isle D'Oleron near to La Rochelle on the west coast of France (well there isn't an east coast just in case anybody wondered!)JDB
