  1. End of an Onassis dream, end of our dream, end of an era. End of a life time of dedication, by its captains, copilots, cabin crew,engineers, overseas ground staff, only us families know...We were very proud and always will be of OLYMPIC,who flew the Greek flag all over the world,brought home the Agio Fos at Easter and made us proud of Greece. With every good fortune to you all, from an ever devoted captains wife and family. Jane Taptas.
