Air travel is pretty commonplace now, but that hasn’t always been the case. I was in junior high in the late ’70s the first time I rode in an airplane. My childhood best friend had recently moved from the Detroit area to St. Louis, and my parents treated me to a visit at her new home. I only got to fly one way though because her Aunt Enid drove me back to Michigan in the little sideways bench behind the driver’s seat of her pickup truck.
