Lucky there was a toilet! ....Actually, I can see the "logic" behind the lack of carry-ons: "Sir, you're flying a Mach-2.5 plane from DC to Chicago. You can complete your business and get back to the office before end of business day. You don't *need* a carry-on for overnight!"

Being able to get on a plane without all those people shleping all
their bags on, might just be worth the supersonic surcharge (smile). Imagine . . . walk in . . . sit down . . push back . . . all in under 10 minutes . . . it's what dreams are made of!!!! (smiling even more) Blue skies . . . JP |

I do not, however, recall anything similar for the B-70 or B-1. |
