Dad found this while cleaning out my grandparents' basement earlier today. From his first airline ride:

1967
NYC-Florida, confident it is JFK
Unknown airline

What kind of airplane? I'm thinking 707, but I don't see the signature vortex generators...

Let the games begin!

Brian, 150 pct sure that is a DC-8, probably a 21 or 51. And in 1967 the 2 main carriers between NYC and Florida where Eastern and National, both of which flew a lot of -8's out of JFK. So what do I win ?

I think EAL flew the B720 and DC-8 on those routes right Ron?

[Futterman]

Ron, you broke it!! I'll take your word for it. National or Eastern DC8, wow. Wild!

(Pic should be working now)

You know what? I think your right. Look at the flaps and the ailerons.

Tri Star not in service till 72. Looks like DC-8 with the small section of flap that remained up a few degrees to clear jet exhaust

Just found the time to do a little Blue site research, here are a few photos to back up my claim.

DC-8 nice. Man i wish i could have flown on some of these old gals. But sadly there all retired now minus the select few DC-8F's still around. Ah well I need to get my butt on a DC-9 before its too late.
