Not 757 service, but back in the 70's, National Airlines operated a DC-10 between TPA-MCO with continuing service up the east coast.
Jump to postPeter was the best on ELR. We watch the re-runs while having dinner, Peter always got the biggest laughs. RIP man, see you on the other side.
Jump to postEastern, basically because I grew up flying this great airline. Was there a city on the east coast they did not go into? Braniff, loved those colorful 72's coming into Eastern's air side in Tampa. PanAm, because it was PanAm. National, believe it or not, National use to operate a DC-10 between Tampa...
Jump to postI remember the days when Tampa ranked high scores. Little by little they seem to be tearing down old air sides and building new ones. My fav is Orlando.

I use <acronym title="Southwest Airlines (USA)">WN</acronym> numerous times a year down to Tampa/Orlando. It would be great to have AirTran here, I would ce...

Jump to postNothing like the sound of an F-4 Phantom, anybody agree. Our house was in line with the approach at Macdill AFB. Fond memories of watching them land and take off over the house.
Now my fav is the F-15!
Which field is the show at, I`ve marked my calendar for next year. Have fun.
I had never heard of this cut before until this week. Sitting around eating ribs with a couple of my California buddies, the topic of Tri-tip steak came up. After hearing the raving comments and stories I set out to find me one. I tried Costco and Sams Club with no success. Then I went to my local b...
Jump to postYea I think Favre still loves this game and does not want to let go. He looks to have a good gun of an arm but he is throwing into coverage that should not be thrown into. He seems to be trying to force the ball. But anyway, I have enjoyed watching him over the years. I`m a Tampa boy here in Nashvil...
Jump to postI fly <acronym title="Southwest Airlines (USA)">WN</acronym> about a dozen times a year, perhaps because they go where I need to go.

Jump to postPride! Tell that to the owner when his million dollar player blows his knee out.
True, it is good to represent your country, especially when you are proud of it.
Not sure why the United States has to prove themselves in this competition. It is insane to have these high quality NBA players risking injury for what?!
