Do you remember the airline, plane and/or destination of your first flight? Archived Message Posted by KingTalkyTiki on February 27, 2025, 9:33:23 A Delta Lockheed L1011 to Columbia, SC to see my brother graduate boot camp. 1984 or 85 I think Seems weird that they used such a big plane to what is probably now served by an Embraer or a CRJ.
