I'm still trying to remember 
the name of the f/a on the 
front left.  

I'm fairly certain the other 
two are:  

Patrica Duxbury-Hedges 
(left rear) and Sue Hawkins 
(right). 

This picture was taken onboard 
N1032F (the a/c that crashed 
on 11/12/75) just prior to 
boarding at Frankfurt, Germany.

I found some of my pictures 
from the ONA days. Back then 
I seemed to have a camera stuck 
to my eye more often than not.

Here's a photo with Nancy Neil
and Winnie OŽNeil. 

We had the day off and hired an 
Arab taxi driver to take 
us out to the desert near the Red 
Sea. He showed us how to catch a 
camel. I wonder if Nancy and 
Winnie remember that?!
I sure do. 

I worked for ONA from 1971 to 1975 in 
Frankfurt as a ground service manager 
and then moved to New York with ONA as 
the manager of  stewardess scheduling 
until April, 1977, when I joined TWA 
in Boston as a crew planner.  I was 
transferred to Kansas City in 1980 and 
stayed with TWA until the end...when 
AA acquired them in 2001.  

During my 37 years in the airline 
industry I can honestly say that my 
ONA memories are the greatest...
everyone knew how to have a good 
time and be a part of a professional 
airline at the same time!

Regards,
Brian

I was contacted by Tony Destro who is 
project manager for the ONA crew web
documentation on the 1975 ONA JFK
bird strike accident. He asked about 
our DC-10 accident on 12 November 1975.  

I am digging up information and pictures 
for him and I look forward to helping 
him with his project.  

Thanks Brian for terrific
contributions to the
ONA Crew Web!
