What is your most memorable flight?

Cstallard · 12-28-2001, 02:36 PM

I have three:
1. First 747 flight to HNL from LAX..United flight 191 on July 25, 1978....I was so stoked to be on a 747 after watching Airport 1975 a thousand times...imagine my dismay when I found out the upstairs was only for First Class passengers!!!

2. First 747 flight Upstairs to HNL from LAX..United flight 53 on Dec. 2nd 1998...Flew in business class in the bubble..it was awesome!!! So comfortable!

3. First First Class flight on a wide-body...Flight 37...OGG-LAX...it was a DC-10...awesome.

The best by luxury would be:
SFO-LHR on Virgin Atlantic in seat 6K, Upper Class.

The most memorable would be:
PHX-RNO on America West in a real bad snow storm. We had to divert back to PHX.
and
SEA-PDX on Kitty Hawk 727-200F in the Jumpseat. The winds were gusting to 40 and we hit a wind shear on approach. We ended up going around and then the pilots were arguing about whether they should try again. I was thinking, just bypass PDX and go to MHR, Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I have never been so bounced around in my life!

A Delta 727 flight LGA-ATL.
There were thunderstorms in the distance. Then the most spectacular sunset/cloud formation I've ever seen. I thought I was in Heaven!
