A Convair 580. Bit of a chunky baby, that one.

You are correct Sir! :-)
My first flight was as a wide eyed kid in a Convair 440.

Ah, the joys of youth, eh?
You bet. I was only 4 or so at the time and this was my first flight
so it was quite a treat. I think everyone remembers their first
flight best because it is the first.
Care to share your first flight experience and what you remember?
My first flight was as a eight or nine year old lad. It was in an
Auster from the beach at Cleethorpes. I was impressed to see the
horizon appear to tilt as the plane banked and to see Grimsby docks as
we flew over the Humber estuary. Five bob well spent, in my opinion.
Mine was in a Cessna (150? 172?) at the Maxville Highland Games in 1963.
I was not quite 7 and I was agog for the whole 15 minutes of the flight.
