[Tell It Right]

And families could watch planes takeoff and land from windows near the runways. And kids flying on the plane would get cockpit tours from the pilots.

Then came the religion of pieces. Diversity is the left's strength.

The first flight I remember, and many in my youth after that, was at about 6 years old.

Any kids on the flight were invited to the cockpit where the pilots loved showing off all the buttons and knobs. We got little, plastic, pin-on wings with the airline’s logo. The stews handed out decks of cards with the airline logo, or coloring books and crayons.

Meals were served hot, tasty, and filling, with real metal flatware and glass cups. Snacks were available in between. Even for 3-4 hour flights.

Flying commercial was a grand adventure, and enjoyable. I’m Gen-X and must be the last generation to have enjoyed those days.

Sad.
