In other posts, I notice a lot of old-timers kicking back in their rocking chairs with their drool cups, thinking about the airlines that are no more.

A lot of folks seem to remember Peoples Express. Do you have any other memories about airlines that bit the dust that you would like to share?

I'll start. I remember flying on Air Florida between DCA and MIA about 6 months before their terrible tragedy. I was taking pictures out the window on the flight and accidentally dropped my lens cap cover between the seats. After searching for 30 minutes, I gave up but mentioned it to the flight attendant on the way out. All she asked was what seat I was in. Two days later, I received a FedEx envelope with the lens cap enclosed!
