Loved Western. Changed a flight from United to Western from SFO to SEA. Flew Northwest to and fro on military contract flights from McChord to Korea in 60's and 70's. Last military flight out of Korea was on Flying Tigers DC-8. Loved Continental. Think their B727's were one of the most beautiful planes ever. Never cared for Pan Am much. Braniff and National were ok. Same with Frontier and Hughes. Had a Continental military flight divert into Osan once because of fog at Kimpo. One thing I remember about all of them was the beauty of the Stewardesses and their professionalism.
Watched the727's maiden flight in Seattle. Flew the Continental 727's between New Orleans and Wichita a couple of times. Thought that was the most beautiful livery for that aircraft. Also flew the 727 shuttle in Korea/Japan many times. Never a bad flight. 727 out of Yakota flew the Stars and Stripes newspaper to Korea every morning, and included my family and I one morning.
