Early 1976 from BNA to OWB on Air Kentucky on a Beechcraft 99. As I was just over one year old, my mother remembers that I seemed quite happy (yet kept wanting to drink water). Upon landing, she was horrified to discover that I had completely flooded my (cloth) diaper and the aircraft seat! So, if t...
Jump to postThank you all for the responses! I think that many Americans would be surprised to learn that Washington, D.C., is not their closest national capital.
