I flew BNA-TRI returning from my grandparents house in 1977 when I was 7, on Eastern I think. I was feeling ill, diagnosed with pneumonia a few days later. We had a stopover in TYS and I really had to pee. When the pilot came back to offer me a tour of the cockpit I said "no thanks, just show me where the bathroom is." I've been kicking myself for that ever since.
