The End Of a Era: Boeing 747 *1969-2020† thread gives me this topic idea.
In what plane did you first you flew ? Or any the significant ones , being pilot or passenger .
First time I flew was in dec 1974 going from Paris to Fez (Morocco) with mother and brother to rejoin my father posted as teacher there.
And luckily he had a camera :
I’m the kid waving on the tarmac behind the Caravelle rear stairs .
Since I’ve found that picture, I’ve checked a bit about that Caravelle F-BJTO.
Turns out she was Caravelle Type III N°148, christened "Pays Basque", and the nose still exist preserved at Le Bourget Museum reserves ! How cool is that.

Her story line on that page is strange tho, cause my picts cleary show she was still flying for Air France in 1974…
Also, I have no memories of the flight… apart from these picts.
Your turn.
