Under his agreement with Garber's Travel Agency, Sohn had been prepared to charter a prop-jet plane from Boston to London, leaving after commencement and returning during the first week of September. He would have charged $240, compared to the HSA's current peak-season minimum of $269 for a flight to Brussels...
...head. Government succumb to rebellions if they are weak and unpopular. If we are concerned that Thailand, Malaysia etc., will fall to the Communists, we should attempt to make them strong, stable countries by offering large-scale economic aid and encouraging political reform. Our futile attempts to prop up backward governments in South Vietnam will not save governments in Southeast Asia, if they too are backward...
...joint Vietnamese-U.S. strike aborted because of bad weather, was carried out the next day. Two dozen prop-driven Vietnamese Skyraiders and an unspecified number of U.S. jets from the big Danang airbase 375 miles north of Saigon plastered a major guerrilla staging and communications center at Vinhlinh, five miles north of the 17th parallel.

Their wings were tilted vertically, while their four turbo prop engines blasted so much prop wash straight downward that they kept pieces of trash flying in all directions around the field.

Ungainly as they looked, the pair of XC-142As were the first large U.S. military transports to demonstrate a helicopter-like capability...
...Frankfurt at a round trip cost of $252 per seat. Also for comparison the Columbia University Charters are sold for $190 to $245 for a jet and $215 to $259 for a DC-7. Note that there is no great difference in cost between a jet and a prop-jet and a DC-7 based on a per seat cost. HSA has raised its prices for jets this summer to $271 to $310 Again I ask HSA to make public its costs and to clearly show where the "profits" from the Charter Flight Agency are going. If HSA is making...
