Aboard/on board
Hello,
Do both of them work in:
- The plane had 125 passengers and crew aboard/on board.
- A customs officer came aboard/on board the ship.
- He worked as a radio technician aboard/on board the USS Missouri.
- They arrived on board/aboard a plane chartered by the government.
- Congratulations! It's good to have you on board/aboard. (to someone who's just got a job)
For some reason "aboard" sounds better to me in 2,3,4, but "on board" doesn't strike me as odd.
Thank you.
