First post was July 1, 1999 (tried to find it in archives, but can't). I had been lurking for about 4 months at the time. Originally found the site from WebFlyer, but can't remember how I found WebFlyer.
It talked about a UA flight I had taken from PDX-LHR-PDX.
It got responses & welcomes from many of the veterans here...
PremEx, Rudi, PG (pguptaat that time) and a number of others.
Been part of my daily routine ever since.
