Alaska Airlines 990A, Summer 1968

I swiped this photo from a great site, Historic Jetliners Group:  http://hjg.awardspace.com/main.html

I again took a cheaper night flight back to Seattle.  The site above says that Alaska Airlines operated the 990A until March of 1968.  I am not sure where they got that information, but Alaska Airlines was still operating the 990A through the summer of that year because that was the aircraft I flew back on.

While the Northwest flight was memorable for the peaches and the older businessman or the male flight attendant, this flight wasn't memorable at all.  All I remember before boarding was that when Doug and Sue's friends learned that my last name was Sanchez, and they had been discussing the possibility of airliners being hijacked, the husband thought I might be a prime candidate to hijack the plane.  That's it.  I must have slept most of the way back to Seattle.
