Well you're doing okay if you can remember flights from 1979. It's weird with memory... I can remember meals I had on flights in the late 1960s and yet I don't remember what I had for lunch yesterday. Um... did I even have lunch yesterday...?
By 1979 I'm fairly certain the DEN-SAN portion of this flight was operated with a 727-200 or possibly even a 707-320. Western's DC-10 wasn't seen in Denver again until the start of nonstop flights to London in 1981, and then it was a -30.
