Back in the 80s I flew the old 747 TWA from NYC to Rome every month. First class meant something then.
I did a trip, Saint Louis to London, in First Class. Still good.
I rode PanAm 747s all over for a few years, always made me feel at home, squeezed in to business and first class occasionally when I could wangle it. Same for old Eastern domestically.
Do I miss flying, No. I miss sitting in places I never thought I might see. I’m running out of continents.. But I doubt wifey would care for Antarctica.. She hates cold.
