First Flight

Here's two images of planes I ran across while poking through a slide box. This may be the first time I took a commercial flight—a month shy of 15 years old.

I believe the first shot, of the Boeing 747, in United Airlines livery, was taken at ORD (Chicago, O’Hare). And while I’m not sure of the locale for the second shot, that of the TWA plane, it may be Sioux City, Iowa, or Omaha, Nebraska.

Two images by Richard Koenig; taken in August of 1975.
