First time was July 1984, I was 10 years old. Can't remember much about the flight other than the fact that we stopped off in Brussels on the way back to NY, and I played some lousy video games there and forever after I was left with some Belgian Franc pocket change. Also remember having to get off onto the tarmac at TLV and take those buses. It was the time of hyper-inflation in Israel, such that in the price of the buses changed every day, since the shekel ended up losing value against the dollar every day.
