My first flight was in 1957.
Cosford 29th Boy Entrants course .
Air experience flight in an Anson, flight out round the Wrekin and back.
Thought it was fantastic, not so a mate of mine, I never knew it was possible to look green in the face until I saw him getting out of the Aircraft.

Other memorable flights.

1987
Pre-arranged "Free" flights with Aerochago Cargo Airline, Miami to San Juan via Santa Domingo (Dom.Rep.)
First leg
4am Flight out of Miami to Santa Domingo in Aerochago (Belize Air International?) up front in C-97 Stratofreighter HI-481.

Second leg, next day.
Santa Domingo to San Juan in Aerochago "Connie" L-749A HI-422. At the time I think the only Airworthy "Connie".
Bulkhead seat behind Flight deck, no Sound proofing in cargo hold!!.
Sights and sound of both flights amazing. (Got some fantastic in flight Photos.
on slides so will show them sometime when I buy a Scanner)

OPF
