[QUOTE]Originally posted by sbalax: [QB] Mr. Norman-- As someone who flew PSA many, many, many times I think you must have been asleep. It was FAR more than "just a ride". My first airline flight EVER was on a PSA DC4 from SFO to BUR. We encountered turbulence over the Tehachapis and, being unpressurized, lots of people got sick. Not this 12 year old, though. But I did vow I would never fly again and would much prefer the Coast or San Joaquin Daylight for our annual trip to San Francisco. In later years I flew on the Electra and 727-100 and 200. Fares were usually in the $11.00 to $16.00 range each way. I never made it onto the L1011. PSA, many said, stood for "Poor Sailors' Airline" because of the traffic between San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco. And then there were the Stewardesses in hot pants and boots... Bob-- I'm betting that was an MD11 not an L1011. The former was an evolution of the DC10 and the latter Lockheed's competition to the DC10 that never really made it.
