walkin2e -> RE: Where did you go on your very first airplane ride? (5/28/2008 6:52:42 AM)

From Kansas City, Kansas, to Jacksonville, Florida. I was in the Army stationed at Ft. Leavenworth, and I was going home to south Georgia on a short leave.. The year was 1972, and I was 20. I flew standby, and it cost me about $60. I had driven my car there from Georgia when I was 19 and gas was 13 cents a gallon (remember gas wars). I let an Army buddy use my car while I was gone..he took me to the airport and picked me up. He cleaned up my car, polished it, and filled it with gas. He had just finished a tour in "Nam and was a little "crazy" (He would sometimes go into rages, and beat metal wall lockers with his fists). Wonder whatever happened to that ole boy? walkin2e
