My folks did a lot of traveling when I was way too young to enjoy it
(or far better, photograph it...) Late '50s through early '60s; I
have vague memories of Constellations, DC-3s, Boeing 377s, Comets,
707s...

Sigh...

As an Army brat my first flight was in a Constellation in 1949 from
Vienna to Westover Mass, via Paris, the Azores, and Newfoundland.
Second was also by Connie in 1953 back to Germany.
Then nothing until I was a PH on the Valley Forge and got to ride around
in the back of helicopters.
One of my buddies was accumulating hours toward his commercial license
and I rode around the LA Basin with him. Landed at LAX once, behind a
707.
