77.0. "Another Lauda Air Note" by TNPUBS::ALLEGREZZA (George Allegrezza @TAY) Fri Aug 23 1991 10:18

    All you Niki Lauda fans can fly his airline from the US beginning in
    1992, when he begins service on the Vienna-Los Angeles route.  He's
    expanding his fleet with a top-of-the-line Boeing 747-400.  He'll
    continue to service the Vienna-Far East routes he's been emphasizing.

    Also, when the Lauda Air 767 crashed in Thailand earlier this year,
    aviation authorities pooh-poohed Niki's early post-crash assertion that
    the crash was caused by in-flight deployment of a thrust reverser. 
    Recently, his judgment was vindicated by the FAA and Boeing, who
    ordered the thrust reversers disabled on all 767s pending further
    analysis.

    If those guys had been F1 enthusiasts they would have known better.
