My first AC flight is also my first flight, and also one of my earliest memories. I would have been 3 or 4 at the time, in the late sixties. The flight was a "Christmas Light Flight" over Winnipeg, the aircraft was an Air Canada Vickers Viscount. It's difficult to imagine such a thing now but there were short flights over the city lasting maybe 1/2 hour just to look at Christmas lights! I seem to recall a lot of people at the airport waiting to board and I think there was more than one aircraft doing this at the same time, and sitting beside that giant round window behind the wing enjoying the view.
