Do you remember your first flight? Where did you go? Why?

Well, assuming (which is always dangerous) that this refers to airplane trip, the earliest that I actually remember vs. rember being told about was from ORD to DEN to visit my grandparents in Colorado.  Not only is this the first trip that I recall myself, but I also flew solo.  That is, I was an unaccompanied minor on the trip, which was both scary and exciting all at once.  I seem to recall that I also got to view the cockpit, but I could be misremembering...

I have to wonder, since 9/11/01 do airlines in the USA still allow unaccompanied minors?  I'd be damned surprised if they were to allow anyone not part of the flight-crew anywhere near the cockpit, these days.

It's said that innocence is the first casualty of war.  Such a shame, that.
