VH-CZB taxies for take-off. The DC-9 was rugged, reliable and profitable for Australian airlines but its pressurisation on descent caused painful earache among susceptible passengers. TAA would install new pressurisation in the 1980s but Ansett opted instead for new 737-200s as part of a deal covering 727s and 767s as well.
