My first overseas flight was when I was a soldier in the US Army and was transferred to a unit in Okinawa and flew there in a World Airways DC-10-30. The flight was LAX to Yakota Airbase in Tokyo to Okinawa. I remember boarding and falling asleep and being woken up and deplaned as they couldn't close the luggage door. We got back on the plane and I'm pretty sure I slept the entire way, or at least I don't remember the flight aside from landing at Yakota.
