I sure we all remember them our first flights,
Mine was July 1971, I was 4, AA 747-100 JFK-LAX I think the flight left about 6pm and we came home on the red-eye 2 weeks later.

I don't remember though but my folks told me my first fight was on a Delta 727 from LGA to MCO.

National Flight 44, DC-8-21 TPA-MIA in early 1969 with my dad who took me to MIA for the day to watch airplanes. Returned on NA 422, 727-35 about three hours late, overflew FMY, SRQ due to the delay so it was just my dad and I (in F) plus the crew, as all other paxs where re-routed, unforgettable !

Cheers

Mine I believe was 1985, Eastern Airlines, JFK-MCO, Aircraft type unknown all I remember is that it had 2 isles. so I am guessing L1011 or A300.

I don't remember the exact dates, considering I was four years old at the time but it was in 1988, flying with Delta Airlines, PHL-MCO in a Boeing 727.

Looks like a few of us had our first flights down to MCO...Disneyworld, perhaps? That was mine.

Back around 1967, TWA Convair 880, non-stop service from JFK to BDL (yes, all the way to Windsor Locks, CT!) First time dad had gotten non-rev passes, and we just took a short hop to get the experience of it, I was all of 7 years old. I don't remember much about the flight, except that on the return trip, the seat-belt light was on the whole way (turbulence, or something) and I was upset because I couldn't see out the window :cry:

My next trip was more impressive - 1971, TWA 747 to LAX going to Disneyland :D
