MPN11- where did you do your International Cadet Exchange to in '63??
US of A, the start of a long love affair with the Nation!
We flew in an RAF Britannia from Heathrow to RCAF Merville, FR, and onward to USAF Rhein-Main, GE, picking up extra bodies en route. Then USAF C-118 (DC-6) to Prestwick, Harman and finally NY for a few days.
Onward in a Saturn Airways DC-6 across America, dropping off small groups people as we went ... Indianapolis, Chicago, Des Moines, Sioux Falls, Helena, Lewiston and finally Boise, ID, where we spent the next 10 days.
Return journey was via Salt Lake City, Denver, Chicago and Baltimore for 4 days in Washington, DC. Then the tedious routing home: DC-6 from Andrews AFB to Harman, Prestwick and Rhein-Main, where we got back on an RAF Britannia and retraced our steps via Merville to London Heathrow.
A wonderful experience.
