You weren't kidding. Says 1086 or 1089 if you count the 3 babies that were born on the flight -> http://didyouknow.org/most-passengers-on-an-airplane/
Most ever passengers on a plane and most ever babies born on a single flight no doubt. Nuts.
This was just a reminder that it is up to us to inspire the next generation of aviators as we were no doubt inspired. A simple wave can go a long way ;)
