AUS-DFW-ELP
ELP-DFW-AUS
Equipment I assume was mostly 727s, maybe some Super 80s involved, I've never been sure and my father hardly remembers.
So first flight in 1988, AA AUS-DFW most likely on a 727. Maybe an -80.

It's possible you flew on a DC10 and/or 767 too as AA had three widebody flights per day DFW-AUS and one DC10 DFW-ELP often in the 80s and early 90s.
