My first memories of flying were on Eastern Airlines. I still have a few pairs of plastic "wings" that I would get as a kid (flying between FLL and PIT), as well as a logo-ed tumbler with the hockey stick on it. My grandfather gave me the tumbler, and I never asked him how he got it...

I wish my mom and dad would have signed me up for the FF program!

I, like you, SS255, wonder if I would still love them if they were around today...
