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.

Cheers,

Indrek Aavisto

Thanks for sharing your experiences! They sound like a lot of fun although I
don't think you could get me to jump out of a perfectly good airplane!

Something I did 45 times over a six year period. There were quite a few
"interesting moments".

;-)

These days, however, my feet are firmly on the ground. I'm popping over
to Spain next week and even doing that on a ferry!

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.
