I made a similar flight in April 1997 to see the Hale-Bopp comet.
First we received a drink in the Sheraton and were briefed about comets ( no, not the plane or our Louise :wink: )
Then we boarded a Sabena 737 for a flight to Paris and back.
Strange sensation to fly in a plane with all lights in the cabin off during all the flight. 8) Even during taxiing and take-off.
By the way: this was my first flight in a "jet"plane, it was also the reason that I got interested in civil aviation.
