"I worked for Southern Airways in ATL from 1973 to 1976 as a secretary in Sales & Services, and then became a reservations agent. We were afforded so many travel opportunities, and I have some wonderful memories of the places I travelled to. I still remember so many other fellow employees and wonder where they are today. Every now then a conversation will come up, and I still comment on having worked for Southern Airways back in the Super70s...I'm very proud of that." --Anonymous | "I recall flying on Southern Airways when I was a child. My uncle was a pilot for the airline and I was thrilled when I got on the aircraft. The aircraft I was on as a passenger was a DC-9 with a smile painted on the nose cone. It was, a great airline, due to the people who made it possible. I am looking for a photograph of a DC-9 with the smile on the nosecone to give to my uncle. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

In fact, if you search with "smile" as your keyword, dozens of aircraft with smiles painted on will appear.]" --mwb |
