Going....Going.....
It does seem like the printed schedule will soon be history. Like SWBrian, I have memories collecting them as kid living near SFO. One time my father took me to the airport to watch the planes take off from the observation deck. To my pleasant surprise, the Cincinnati Reds were there waiting to board a flight (this was WAY before teams had charters). I wanted an autograph from Pete Rose and all I had handy was a Braniff Airlines schedule. Now when I show it to people, they seem more interested in the Braniff schedule than Pete's autograph. For the record, I remember he was very friendly and was happy to sign for lots of kids gathered around him. ^
