Flew into LaGuardia only to get to JFK to fly out of. Going from Detroit to Naples. Left Detroit on Republic flew out of JFK on Pan AM. I was only 17 at the time & was stranded at LaGuardia not knowing how to get to JFK. Called Dad & he had sense enough to get me a helicopter between the two airports. Only time I ever rode in a helicopter.

Sorry for the short story but thinking about it brought back some fond memories.
