re: #20 Nerdy Fish
Heh! I’m such a young’un. My first flight was on a first-gen 737.
Now I feel like a contemporary of the Wright Brothers: my first flight was on a DC-6, but I most vividly recall my second and third: I accompanied my father on a business trip to San Francisco (from L.A.): we flew up on a DC-7, but came back on the then-new DC-8 jet. Travel of the future!!!
