How do some of you people remember some of these details like the flight number and exact date from decades ago? Sheesh.

I believe what used to be Air Wisconsin is now part of DL after having been swallowed up by several intermediate fish, right? If so for me it would have been IND-MKE in October of '81 or '82.

First flight of any kind would have been summer 1980 on Piedmont FWA-DAY-EWR. Got little metal (!) wings and a deck of cards from them. I have some DL and UA wings somewhere too.
