    Braniff although I never flew them to Brazil. My first South American trip was on Eastern (DC-Miami-Caracas).

    Never flew this, but it did make it to the first line of the Beatles'"Back In The USSR" - "flew into Miami Beach, BOAC..."

    Bobby Bloom's "Montego Bay" gave it a shoutout, too.

    Actually I remember getting those little kid's plastic wing pins.



    I want to say American Airlines... who knows. Of course, they're still around.

    I always love seeing this old Air Afrique jet parked up at Dakar airport. I would have loved to have flown on one of these on the DKR-JFK route back in the day.

    I worked for TWA for a summer. It sucked.

    I flew National to Disney World in Florida when I was 8 and it was amazing.
