Dad found this while cleaning out my grandparents' basement earlier today. From his first airline ride:
1967
NYC-Florida, confident it is JFK
Unknown airline

What kind of airplane? I'm thinking 707, but I don't see the signature vortex generators...
Let the games begin!
Brian, 150 pct sure that is a DC-8, probably a 21 or 51. And in 1967 the 2 main carriers between NYC and Florida where Eastern and National, both of which flew a lot of -8's out of JFK. So what do I win ?

The pic seems to have died. :-(
No picture their skippy....
I think EAL flew the B720 and DC-8 on those routes right Ron?
Ron, you broke it!! I'll take your word for it. National or Eastern DC8, wow. Wild!
(Pic should be working now)
Cmon you guys...Thats an L1011.
You know what? I think your right. Look at the flaps and the ailerons.Quote:

Just found the time to do a little Blue site research, here are a few photos to back up my claim.

DC-8 nice. Man i wish i could have flown on some of these old gals. But sadly there all retired now minus the select few DC-8F's still around. Ah well I need to get my butt on a DC-9 before its too late.
