My fisrt flight was back in 1972 (SJU-BOS). My dad sent me and my brothers to camp in New Hampshire for the summer while he went galavanding and partying in Europe.

The equipment was an old AA 707, which as not that old in 1972!!

Then at 15, I went to New York to visit my mom. Again flew AA, but this time in the legacy 747's. Where they great or what???

I remember a 3-1/2 hour flight from SJU-JFK or SJU-BOS felt such a LOOONNNG flight.

Later, at 18 took my first inter-continental flight: SJU-MAD on AV. Another 747 ride.

Have not stopped since.
