jrl767 for a quick visit at the
Southern California Airline Memorabilia Show. I won't return home until February 9th, so my participation in this little enterprise of ours will be severely curtailed.
jlemon will be similarly indisposed until early February. Now's the perfect opportunity for someone else to take up the reins and present a few questions of their own. Go for it!
4. You want to fly aboard the only daily Convair 580 departing San Francisco in late 1977. Identify the airline and the route you’ll be flying.
4. I'll guess this was a United flight actually operated by our old friend Frontier Airlines with a routing of SFO-RNO-ELY-EKO-SLC.
And yes, my lady and I will be off once again to the Caribbean at the end of the month on good old AA with a routing of LFT-DFW-MIA-STT. We'll be in the front cabin on the mainline 757 flights. Our destination will be the west end of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands (reached via ferry boat from St. Thomas) where we shall hook up with old friends who have now retired from American Airlines. We'll board a "bare boat" catamaran which we will then sail over to Virgin Gorda. It's been over 20 years since I last enjoyed a rum punch at Pusser's overlooking the marina at Soper's Hole on Tortola in the BVI and I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to do so once again!
