Abstract
At any point of time on any day of these 1970s, international air traffic is moving a vast population across frontiers. The passengers obediently fasten seat belts, the big jets capture the glideslope and then roll in towards the terminal. The disembarking passengers leave the aircraft thinking about immigration and customs, the transit passengers glean a quick impression of a possibly unknown land beyond the terminal, and the boarding passengers speculate on the relative advantages of aisle or window seats. Very few of these people will consider whether the vehicle which carries them so comfortably presents any problems to the technicians at the airports visited en route.
