My first airplane flight...



I took my first airplane flight in 1951 at age 11 from the Nashville Airport (pic in rear)on an Eastern flight going to Atlanta. The plane was a Lockheed 1049 'super-constellation' with four engines You walked out the front door there and out to the plane and climbed the roll up steps to get inside. Things were a little different then. People wore suits back then as a flight was a big deal.
The plane has a interesting history if any cares to read about it.
