One of my earliest memories is a Air Force flight in a C-54 going to the territory of Hawaii, before statehood. We were all just passengers but dad flew the C-54 and many other Air Force cargo planes of the era.
Anyway, to fly to Hawaii, in a converted cargo plane, unpressurized, zipping along at 190 mph (165 kn) at 10,000 ft, dad was is full uniform, Mom was in a dress, high heels, white gloves up to the elbow, full makeup and jewelry. It was the era that everyone was dressed up like it was a formal event. Just to go to Hawaii. Just a different thought process back then. Mostly I remember the flight taking about three days, I thought we had moved again, into the airplae and there was no TV and nothing but waves to look at. The most boring flight in the history of child-kind!
I resist commercial airline travel at all costs today.
