          I think each route was one time each and all on 744s. Mabey 2 times SFO-ORD but I can't remember. Its been at least 5 years since the last time i've been on one.

                      Re:

                      Ahh yes, the powerful jumbo.

                      '89:
                      -AI 742: BOM-LHR-JFK (Those P&W JT9's Rock!!) Also my very first widebody flight-that too in a 74'! Still recall praying that the plane would takeoff, not overrun, and being pinned against the seatback as it lifted off the runway at BOM.
                      -AI 742: JFK-LHR-BOM

                      '91:
                      -AI 742: BOM-DEL-LHR-JFK
                      -AI 742: JFK-LHR-DEL-BOM

                      '97:
                      -AF 741: BOM-CDG (Once again, I had the pleasure of flying in a Classic 74' after a lengthy break. Too bad I only had a wall, then again, I could peer out of the window in front and the one behind and get a good enough view).

                      '99
                      -LH 744: FRA-BOM (My first ride in a 744-loved it. Sat just behind the leading edge, had a great view out the window and of the engines).
                      -LH 744: BOM-FRA (This time just behind the trailing edge. Again, I recall being pushed against my seat, powerful takeoff). Hope to have many more enjoyable flights in this one.

                      '00:
                      -LH 742: FRA-BOM (Unfortunately, no window, but getting to fly in this Classic again was one of the few good things in what was the worst trip I've been on thus far).

                      '01:
                      -LH 742: BOM-FRA (Sat in the middle seat of the three on the left side, I managed to get good views even then, courteousy of the big window. And the guy next to me who didn't care much about the view outside. Still recall that buzzsaw sound during the climb to cruising altitude of the RB 211's and that loud r/t upon landing at FRA. Very neat!).

                      15 fun legs in this jet, and many more in the future!

                      Happy Flying!

                        Really?I didn't know UA used 744s on that route. I thought the biggest for DEN-SFO was the 777. Well I learned something new today
