EgyptAir (large tailfin)EgyptAir's logo features Horus, the hawk-headed god of the sky. After use, don't just "fasten" this bag or "secure" it. No, you must "Clamp shut with tab". Mary Gilmore says this bag came from a 767 she took from Luxor to Cairo on 19 October. Perhaps the same plane as crashed off New Hampshire? EgyptAir had only two 767s... (1999) |

EgyptAir (pylon)"Huh? Where's the pylon?", you ask. Just shows you've never been to Egypt. A pylon is the name for those massive towers that guard the entrance to ancient Egyptian temples in Luxor. With a broad base and narrow top, they've stood for thousands of years. This specimen from EgyptAir imitates the design: it's 13 cm wide at the base but only 11.6 cm wide at the top. Very stable, and there's no need for Iberworld-like instructions on stability . Painstaking archaeological research suggests that the four EgyptAir bags on this page were developed in the order shown: the red one first, when Egyptian printing technology was only just beyond the papyrus stage, through the wordy, full-colour bag above (coincides with a flowering of the arts in the Fourth Dynasty), through the more elegant bag shown here, and then the blue specimen below.
