My dear friends in the wild and uninhibited days of aviation some 40 years ago food was great and planes flew with many empty seats. There was also plenty of room even in the economy section. When the lights went out on night flights, it was couples took this opportunity to become intimate. If one did this it was called "Joining The 7-Mile High Club." I have done this a number of times in my 46 year flying career. The last time was in September of 1990 when I was flying South African Airways business class between Cape Town and Rio de Janeiro. The head stewardess caught us "in the act." She blurted out: "You must be on your honey moon!"
Life takes us in many strange directions and wonderful discoveries. It never turns out the way we thought it would.
