Well I was a smart-assed teenager that knew nothing about planes. Looking at their fleet, it was probably a DC10 then, by far the biggest plane I had ever been on. Remember it feeling gigantic compared to a 727. Real overkill for the PDK-SEA market. I do remember getting the tickets for $50 R/T though and that was in 1988-89, back when I had to go to a travel agent and get the actual coupon printed off for the flight. That would be a $110 ticket in todays rates. Thanks for correcting my aircraft misidentification.
