Stopped here for fuel once in January 1967, riding in the "way back" end of a DC-8-63. From the very last rows of seats you could see the fuselage flex in turbulence. Seats weren't very comfortable and pretty densely packed, food was ... well, so-so.
Stopped here for again for fuel October 2006, riding in the "way back" end of a 747-400. Can't say that I saw the fuselage flexing, impossible to see very far forward. Seats weren't very comfortable and pretty densely packed, food was ... well, so-so.
Hmmm ... in 39 years things haven't changed much, have they?
On Saturday 23 February 2008, one the 21 stealth bombers in the USAF, visiting from Whiteman AFB in Missouri (SZL), crashed at Andersen AFB in Guam. Fortunately, both pilots ejected safely:
