What Was Your First Airplane Ride?
I am a little vague on this question because it took place nearly 50 years ago, but I think my first airplane ride was on a Boeing 727, Eastern Airlines, Seattle to St. Louis.
What was your first?
An alternate question is, what was the first airplane in which you sat? I have one friend who first sat in a P-51 Mustang, a WWII fighter aircraft with a piston engine.
What was your most daring ride in an aircraft? For me, it is a toss-up between being in the first flight to land on a new sea-ice runway on the Arctic Ocean in a de Havilland Canada Twin Otter, and being in a little Coast Guard helicoptor landing on a rocking and rolling ice breaker in the Arctic Ocean.

I'm going to have think about this one but it may have been flying from Seattle to Phoenix. The bulk of my air travel took place between the time I was 21 to around 30.
