CNN —Flight attendant Ilona Zahn was less than impressed when she first met pilot Ian Duncan.
Ilona was working the first class cabin on the Pan American Airlines flight from Rome to Tehran, traveling via Beirut and Damascus.
It was, says Ilona, “a long, romantic embrace.”When their Pan Am flight returned to Rome, Ian and Ilona spent the evening walking around the city together.
When their flights didn’t coincide, they’d leave letters for one another at Intercontinental Hotels frequented by Pan Am crew.
Ilona DuncanWhile Ilona was enjoying her romance with Ian, she was also keen to hold onto her independence.
