Looks like your search for Adam is going to be a little more work....maybe he could just send you an email to let you know where he will be... Our next trip will most likely be to Palm Springs to visit Mom-in-law, in late February - a good time to 'get out of town'. Susan,

You reported for your flight 20 MINUTES before departure and away you went. Being in uniform actually helped back then. Flying in and out of Van Nuys was even better. Van Nuys, being (or was?) an Air National Guard base as well as a civilian strip, made it a natural for my flights since I often was on military craft. Back then I invariably flew in the jumpseat in the c*ckpit doorway too, both on Continental's flights as well as the military's. On the otherside, Denver was kind of a pain if I had to fly in and out of it since it was an hour's drive from home. COS (Colorado Springs Municipal Airport) was dual use, served by the city and by Peterson AFB. I either had to walk from the barracks to the AFB terminal a block away or drive 4 miles to get to the Continental terminal. Either way, same thing, just get there 20 minutes before the flight leaves. *-> I think the only time I had trouble with a flight was on one from LAX to San Antonio. Man, I didn't get out of Texas for 3 months! Time's change, and as with most things, not for the better. -Rod- I hate to say this, but I haven’t flown in 25 years :(
