August 7, 20169 yr I've never seen real food on an airline before.... Lamb Chops.... *Smacks lips* Back in those days, you could hardly fly anywhere without a meal being served. In 1964, I missed a connection and ended up in Nashville, needing to get to Memphis ASAP. They found a flight and when I went out of the terminal and walked across the tarmac to get on it, there was an old twin engine Beechcraft, I think. It was a tail dragger and you had to crawl into a small door on the side and there was a sunken isle with one wicker seat on each side per row (maybe 8 rows). When we took off and leveled out, the copilot got out of his seat, got onto his knees, and slid a crate of Coca-Cola down that sunken isle, opening the bottles with a church key he had on a string around his neck and handing them out. Usually it was a full meal, but this small and poorly equipped carrier tried their best. It was all about the customer in those days. John John Wingold
