My Sincere thanks once again to you and Sara who made our trip not only a reality but also a remarkable experience.
What wonderful memories I have of the trip! Such good friends! What fun we had! And what a remarkable experience it was! I re-live our journey everyday as I share stories with friends and colleagues, look at pictures again and again, finally get around to reading the brochures and books that I bought during the travel and just plain think about the wonderful trip.
El AL ISRAEL AIRLINES CELEBRATES 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF RECORD-SETTING FLIGHT FROM NEW YORK TO TEL AVIV
Last month, El Al Israel airlines celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first nonstop flight from New York to Tel Aviv, which took place on June 15, 1961. The maiden flight established three world records: the first nonstop service between New York and Tel Aviv; the fastest flight between the two cities (9 hours, 33 minutes); and the longest nonstop commercial flight to date at a distance of 5,760 miles.
