Jul. 13 -- DALLAS -- The big silver Boeing 757 landing at Dallas Love Field yesterday didn't bring traffic on Lemmon Avenue to a stop, the way a Boeing 707 did 40 years ago. But for Foster Parcell, a retired American Airlines flight engineer who was a crew member on the first commercial jetliner to land at Love Field, yesterday's ceremonial flight re-enactment brought back lots of memories. "Boy it sure does" bring back memories, said Parcell, who also sat in the cockpit yesterday as American's vice president of flight and chief pilot, Cecil Ewell, landed the 757 at Love Field. Unlike that first American 707 flight to Dallas -- a 3-hour affair from New York's Idlewild Airport.
