Mine was YSSY-WSSS-EDDF on a Qantas 747-400 and then the last leg was EDDF-LGAT on board an Olypmic Airways A300-600 
I was 2 years old at the time

i was like 6 i think or 5
mine was from midway (dont know airport code) to KLAS (las vegas  )) )
on board a southwest airlines i actually dont remember because i wasnt interested in aviation a the time but when i got back to my house i starting looking for this toy airplane (like the little tykes one? idk) and played with it for like 3 hours lol and i guess you can say thats when i started to take notice of aviation and my obsession with flying began in about 4th grade. and my obsession of flight simulator was actually grand theft auto san andreas i would fly like the little dodo's (a plane that mimicked cessna) and the other planes and then i found the big one (which was a version of airbuses a320 and boeings 737-200) i had fun with that until i learned about fs2004 through youtube and bought the game and here i am now

7 years old... Air Jamaica DC-8 from Kingston, JA (Norman Manley Intl Airport) to KMIA... Miami Florida!
I remember my brother was 4, he was in tears cause the sound and turbulence was so bad... I remember grinning with glee since I loved the ride and had the window seat.

You are LUCKY. DC-8, man what I would pay for that. I guess I can brag too anyway, I've done the approach at the IGS 13 at Kai Tak. I think I was in a Qantas 767, but it was in 1996 I think....

Most probably. Back than there used to be a charter airline Aviogenex and my uncle worked for them so not sure whether we used the national carrier or something else. |
