September 24, 201213 yr About 25 years ago I rode a TWA 727 that had the front right (galley) exit just forward of the wing instead of the normal position at the front of the passenger cabin. This wasn't a pleasant situation when on a cold windy St Louis day the food wasn't brought on board until the passengers were on in their seats (coats and other cold weather wear stowed).
September 24, 201213 yr I remember flying TWA and Vanguard a few times when I was a little kid in the early 90s. Also flew on Continental as recently as 2009. That's about all I can remember.
September 24, 201213 yr Have to start with perhaps the most influential airline of all time - Laker Skytrain DC10 Followed by DanAir BAC 1-11 Courtline BAC 1-11 (The brightly coloured planes that matched inside and out) Spantax Convair and DC8 Continental DC10 PanAm B747-200 (and that was filthy inside and out with the world's oldest hostesses I've ever seen!) UTA DC10 (Brilliant to fly with) Ansett NZ BA 146 (kicked Air New Zealand's butt for awhile)

September 25, 201213 yr Moderator People Express 737-200 where they wheeled a cash register down the aisle so you could pay for your ticket - after takeoff... Regards, Scott Oh my, I forgot about them! During the summer I used to fly from Jacksonville to Newark nearly every weekend so I could do "dinner and a show" in NYC. If I recall correctly, the fare was $65 each way, so it was quite affordable. Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
