Eastern - my first flight ever (1968, KJFK-KMIA on a DC-8, and back on a 720)

 

TWA - the first 747s I saw (parked at the terminal at KJFK, dwarfing the 707s alongside them - could see them from Rockaway Boulevard as we drove past)

 

Northwest - my first 747 flight (1970, KJFK-KORD).

 

Laker Skytrain - without Sir Freddie, my family would never have been able to afford that 1978 trip to London (my first time in Europe).

Ozark - the wine-tasting flight gave my my happiest-ever holding pattern.

 

There are others I miss that I never flew - Northeast (remember the yellowbirds?), Trans Caribbean...

 

Note the JFK-in-the-late-1960s theme emerging here...
