NASLEĐE HER I TAGE Sa Arsenomdo Njujorka Kad je JAT 1978. godine kupio prvi širokotrupni avion daglas DC 10-30, koji je za ono vreme mogao da primi neverovatnih 380 putnika, na Surčinskom aerodromu danima su se skupljali znatiželjnici da vide kako sleće i poleće ta grdosija. Bila je to prvorazredna senzacija, a JAT je postao jedina kompanija neke socijalističke zemlje koja se mogla pohvaliti takvim tipom aviona. Zbog svog kapaciteta, kao i doleta avioni DC-10 koristili su se za interkontinentalne letove. A na letovima je bilo više nego uzbudljivo i za današnje prilike prilično nezamislivo. Ako zanemarimo činjenicu da je tada moglo da se puši u kabini, treba podsetiti i da je ketering bio vrhunski, odnosno da su jela za prekookeanske letove spremali najbolji kuvari. Da putnicima i pored svega ne bude dosadno, brinuli su se razni umetnici. Jedan od njih, zabeleženo je na ovoj dragocenoj fotografiji, bio je legendarni Arsen Dedić, koji je putnicima na letu za Njujork svirao i pevao iznad okeana. Nezaboravno. WITHARSEN TONEWYORK When in 1978 JAT bought its first wide-body aircraft, a Douglas DC10-30 that was able to accommodate 380 passengers - an incredible number at the time - curious locals gathered at Surčin Airport for days to see how this gargantuan landed and took off. It was a top-class sensation, and JAT had become the only airline of a socialist country to boast this type of aircraft. Due to its capacity, as well as its range, DC-10 aircraft were used for intercontinental flights. And the experience of flights was more than exciting and quite unimaginable for today’s conditions. If we overlook the fact that smoking in the cabin was then permitted, it should be noted that the catering service was superb, with dishes for transoceanic flights prepared by the best chefs. Various artists were also engaged to ensure that passengers didn’t become bored. One of them - recorded in this precious image - was the legendary Arsen Dedić, who played music and sang above the ocean on a flight to New York. Unforgettable. 1978. 16 | Er Srbija » Air Serbia
