My first time in an airplane was an American Airlines 727-200 in 1969. It was not actual flight but what they called a flight seeing tour. On Saturday
afternoons, they would take the 727 out of service at CLE and operate 2 or 3 of these tours. Aircraft would take off and head west to Sandusky and turn around and come back. Cost was only $5 or $6 dollars. And no security line in those days. My first actual flight on AA BAC-111 CMH-CLE.
