I was one of the people who went through the 
life changing experience of UACI in Saudi 
doing the Hadj, teachers and scheduled flights 
on the glorious DC-8's and even one 707. 
I still am in contact with many ex UACI people 
and have already forwarded information for you.  
I think some kind of forum would be good, I 
tried to do that back in the 80's but I guess 
the internet was too young for most people then. 
If you need any help with that side of it 
let me know.  I also have a large portfolio 
from 83-85 and most of them are digitised.

In 1985 Steedman Hinckley contracted
Swedish crew to fly the Cairo and 
Jeddah routes,  Annalyn Norden was 
stationed in Cairo.
Is anyone in contact with her?

Great to see a site for UACI, 
a great bunch of people would 
love to hear from any and all.

Originally I hired on as an aircraft 
mechanic with UACI in 1979 and first 
worked in Cairo. For about 8 months I 
worked on aircraft on the ramp and made 
a trip as a flight mechanic carrying 
Fiji UN troops from CAI to Bangkok 
where I stayed over for three years.

I was contracted out of Canada by 
Charter Masters to train in JFK and 
work the Hadj. I would very much
like to get in touch with Ileen Toomi, 
or Mary Burk. They where both incharges 
at JFK 1985/6.
I was so impressed with Ilean and Mary 
that I have continued in the industry, 
and am now a In-Charge 
with Zoom Airlines.

Message: I was working in Jeddah and 
Egypt in 1984 and 1985. It was some 
the best years of my life, I have some 
pictures from that time but I lost more 
from moving across the world and USA. I 
just found about the ONA Reunion in
Fort Lauderdale March 10 2007, hope to 
make it and see you all...

I flew and lived in Jeddah for UACI 
in the early 80s...I have forgotten 
the many JED-MED legs, but not all 
the great people. I still keep in 
touch with Bob Wenberg, Bob Sullivan, 
and Ray Young

Hi - Flying for USA3000 Airlines in 
my 4th year as an F/A with them and 
love every hour,great people to work 
for. This also marks my 20th year in 
the business, still as much of a challenge 
as the first.But there will never be 
another home like UACI!

Jeddah is the gateway to the holy cities 
of Makkah and Madinah. Although Riyadh is 
the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 
Jeddah is known as its commercial capital. 
Since Jeddah is situated at the Red Sea coast, 
it is also known as Bride of Red Sea.

I just got back from the ONA March 10 
2007 Fort Lauderdale reunion, it was great! 
I had a very good time meeting some of the 
ONA team, only one knew me. 
The others left ONA before I came on board. 



Best regards, Ramy Mesih, Florida
