DC-3 ping.
Yet they had breakfasted yesterday in Karachi, India.
No longer possible.
”An American airplane and a Dutch pilot make a combination hard to beat,” one of them told him.
Except by a combination in which both are Americans,” responded the commander. “I’ll say it for you.”
No longer politically correct.

I once flew to Turkey on Pakistan International Airline. The flight originated in Toronto and went New York, Amsterdam, Istanbul, Islamabad. I was on from N.Y. to Istanbul. That route might have originated as described in this article.
It is such trifles as this that infuriate the intelligent Indian; only the British fail to perceive it.
Careful there, Mr. Birchall. Your reporting is veering into editorializing.
