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 folks did a lot of traveling when I was way too young to enjoy it
(or far better, photograph it...) Late '50s through early '60s; I
have vague memories of Constellations, DC-3s, Boeing 377s, Comets,
707s...

Sigh...
