I also logged a flight on the MEM-LIT-FSM-TUL-OKC-DFW flight (Orange 727-227) back in 1976. I do wish I'd managed a flight aboard the 747 and one of the older DC-8s though...
The original Braniff International was quite the sylish airline....I remember sipping on fine red wine from South America shortly after I turned 21 - and I was in coach.
Besides the BAC One-Eleven, I also flew in BN operated B720, B727-100 and B727-200 aircraft. Routings included IAH-DFW, AUS-DFW, DFW-OKC-ICT-MCI-ORD, DFW-MCI-ORD, DFW-ORD and DFW-DTW.
And they had some very pretty lady flight attendants as well!
