A handwritten personal letter on yellowed paper thanking the recipient for being on the first flight back to the US after the DC-10 scare. The letter mentions an interview at JFK airport and expresses hope for the return of Skytrain service. This appears to reference the 1979 DC-10 groundings that affected Laker Airways operations.
