Ahhhh Yes!!!... I remember it well - my first time flying alone! WOW what a thrill. And it was my first time period on a commercial airliner!!!!..... Oh it was over 20 years ago and was around 1984 - I was selected and appointed by the principal as a Hugh O' Brien Youth scholar and was to attend a leadership seminar in Buffalo, NY. Keep in mind I was from Albany. Well back then USAir would fly between the two cities. I could have easily taken a bus or train for the 6 hour trek but heck I wanted to fly....and with ample sponsorship and money from the paper route - I was able to pay the $78 ticket. It of course was a short flight what 45 mins to an hour tops....I had a window seat near the wing. It was a BAC-111 and what noisy planes they were. I recall counting out the seconds of the takoff roll until we were airborn and then I kept track of the time to see how long before we would pass over my little town outside of Albany. I even still have the ticket receipt. Ahhh yes I remember it well. ^
