  • Your first widebody flight

    For me it was December, 1973. Eastern Airlines L-1011, ORD-SJU
    My next flight was my first 747 flight, on AA, SJU-JFK

    I didn't complete the widebody trifecta until nearly 5 years later,
    8/78 National DC-10, LAX-MIA

    My only other widebody has been the 767, which I first flew in
    July 1990 (UA, LAX-JFK). Since then I have flown 762s from UA
    and 762s and one 763 from AA.

            My first was in 1982 on a CO DC-10 (meatball livery) from IAH to IAD. My dad took me to D.C. when I was 5. I remember the plane being mostly empty. The plane had a walk-up bar and I sat up there with my dad eating snacks. Our trip was just a couple weeks after the time Air Florida flight 90 crashed in the icy Potomac River.

                  I'm not quite sure on the date...somewhere in 94-95.

                  I flew a NWA DC-10 DTW-MSP. We were flying RIC-DTW-CWA but our DTW-CWA leg got cancelled so we were rerouted DTW-MSP-CWA. I don't remember much about the flight as I was only about 5, but I do remember a huge dinner(in coach) and a huge storm!

                  The first I truely remember was an AF A340 IAD-CDG in 2000.

                      Most likely in '94-'95 on a Delta L-1101, from JFK to MCO.

                          I can remeber flying an NWA dc10 BOS-MSP when I was a kid, don't know the date, and I'm sure I flew widebodys before that, its just the first one I remeber. I also remeber looking out the gate window at BOS and wondering how the plane was balancing with only one wheel in the center on the back (I couldn't see the other wheels and I was about 7 soooo......).
