I was in the economy section, but I could have cared less about a first class upgrade, I just wanted to fly on N787NC.
My segments today were as follows:
MCI-ATL 757-200
ATL-IND DC-9-50
IND-MSP A320
MSP-MCI E175
If I can, I try to get the registration numbers off of the back of the aircraft so I can put it in my log book. A person that tries to get as much information about a flight is a diehard aviation fan, and I am one of those.
Next week I am going back to IND with the following segments:
MCI-DTW DC-9-50
DTW-IND CRJ900
IND-ATL MD-88
ATL-MCI 757-200
I am just like you! I love to get a tail number and fly on those aircraft models I have.
In December I was lucky in the same trip I was able to fly on 0851 (I have a model of the Boeing 757-300) and 0401 (I have a poster as this was Boeings 100 next generation aircraft). I have always wanted to be on those aircraft!
Congrats!
