    I left O’Hare on a 747 after USAF jet engine training in 1972. A gentleman saw me in my Class-A’s and asked if I ever been in 1st class. I responded that I never had and he took me upstairs to have a drink. Turned out his son was an F-4 pilot and wanted to know if I ever worked on this aircraft. Only time I was in a 747 and I wished I could have had more trips, even in economy. lol

    In the 1980s I ran out multiple contracts for phone systems all over the islands. This included regular mainland travel via United 747s. We had lots of miles and always flew in the upper deck 16 seats. The service up there was second to none!

    They always had Hawaiian cocktails waiting for us and greeted us by name!
