		Swissair, the official airline of Switzerland, was the dominating airline of the 1970’s and 1980’s.
		One other thing that always struck me was the huge white cross on the tail of the plane and all the toys and gifts that we always seemed to get.
		I continued to use Swissair on many flights mainly to Asia and traveled several times in Economy, Business Class and once had the pleasure of experiencing, their then superlative, First Class whilst on honeymoon and on the sector London-Geneva-Bombay.

	Swissair 111, TWA 800, and Electromagnetic Interference - The New York Review of Books
		Swissair 111 had its last normal exchange with the Boston air controllers at 8:33 PM, after which it lost radio contact with every air controller on the northeast coast for the next thirteen minutes.
		This may be why Swissair 111, like TWA 800 earlier, had been directed onto the Bette route in traveling east out of New York, for this route is assigned when the military exercise zones south and southeast of Long Island, called W-105 and W-106, are in use by the military.
		Swissair 111 actually first appears on the FAA tape of the Augusta Controller Center one minute earlier at 8:46; but the transmission is not completely clear and perhaps because the plane is not yet in the Augusta region, the air controller—who at that moment is in conversation with another plane—does not hear the call.
