I flew many times, even on a weekly basis between Seoul and Tokyo in the 90s, when I was stationed at Seoul Kimpo Airport. Flying onboard a Boeing 747200 or 300 was nothing special 20 years ago.
Here is a rather unspectacular flight captured on video for those of you who can find anything exciting flying onboard the old Jumbo Jet with stretched upper deck. I always remember the smell onboard of Korean Air Lines in the 90s. It was a distinct and strong smell of (over)cooked meat and a coffee like fragrance, when boarding the aircraft.
Enjoy with me the Sights & Sounds of Classic Aviation.
Thank you for watching my channel.
