Previously when researching this information the best I was able to do was archive some links into bookmarks. Google seems to be making more links available than when I searched before, and I'm hoping by listing the links the blog with form a visual bookmark of sorts that will make for a more user friendly interface, and more simplistic recall.
This site at the above link even has some great links to a photograph of the type of jet plane used on the trip, as well as information regarding the philatelic mail that was aboard the flight.
