Back in 1976 I was a freshman at USC and several of us had driven up San Francisco for the USC-Stanford football game. We stayed in the city for two nights and then watched the game before returning to our hotel to get our bags and head home. The problem was we’d ended up with one more friend that wanted a ride back to LA. Since my dad was a retired United pilot and I had positive space tickets I could use anytime they dropped me off at SFO with the idea I’d fly back. The problem was all flights were sold out because of the game. Thankfully I’d checked out the schedule and knew of their milk run, known as the Valley Queen, a route that my mother had flown as a stewardess back in the 1950s. We flew from SFO to Stockton, then Merced, Visalia and finally LA. I think it took about 3 1/2 or 4 hours. I was given seat 1A and the flight attendants made a big deal about the fact I was flying the full route. It doesn’t exist anymore but I’m happy I had the chance to fly it!

Years ago, I had an instructor who was a retired naval airman that used to fly a very long milk run. Leave the US in a Navy R7-v2 which was the Navy version of a Super Constellation or Super Connie. Then land in Europe, then Turkey, then India, then a stop at Diego Garcia on the way back, then back to the Middle East, then Europe (usually Italy or Germany) then back to the USA. This in a 4 engine plane with 18 cylinder radial engines droning for hours at a time. Took more than a week. He then retired and went to work for TWA flying their Super Connies till they were retired and he flew Diesel-8s, making many of the same runs. He quit the airlines when he hit max age, which was 55 back then. Taught school to a bunch of us incorrigibles. The Commander was a great guy and had a thousand stories. He’s the reason I tried to join the Navy by doing ROTC in college. Regrettably my eyesight was too bad in the years before LASIK so no Navy for me. Thanks for your service.

The worst part was I had a severe hangover as I had partied hard the night before celebrating the end of a fishing season.

The flight would continue on to a stop in Bakersfield and go to Los Angeles. Sometimes the segment between Modesto and Merced was only 9 minutes., and they didn't go high enough to have to give the emergency oxygen briefing for that leg.

I've done the Pacific island hopper, back when it was Continental Air Micronesia on a 727-100 Combi. Best part was getting off the plane at Pohnpei (still Ponape then) and just hanging out on the ramp! Could have done that on Chuuk (then Truk), too, but I didn't know it was allowed. Watched them fuel the plane with what looked like a garden hose. I flew eastbound, GUM-TKK-PNI-KWA-MAJ-JON-HNL, so the remaining stops at which I could have gotten off (several are restricted) would have been in the dark. The other milk run I've actually taken was SFO-OAK-RNO-EKO-ELY-SLC-DEN. This was after the original DC-6 (which I did fly as far as Reno) was replaced by a wet-leased Convair 580 from Frontier, then replaced with a 737. The main reason for this flight's existence was flying the gold out of the eastern Nevada cities on the westbound flight; UA had an impressive storage facility at its service center at SFO to hold said gold. Not quite Fort Knox, but definitely beyond your local bank vault! There was one in Canada back in the 60s and 70s that I ran across in the OAG (Official Airline Guide), but I don't remember the airline. What I do remember is that it's the only time I saw "#" in the number of stops column, indicating more than 9 stops between Havre St Pierre and Blanc Sablon. That would have been a tiring trip!

Seeing the delay on the last leg of your trip brings to mind my flight from Auckland to LA that was recalled because of "electrical issues" and had to return to NZ...two days in a row! Each return flight required over an extra hour in the air to use up/dump fuel. My "13 hour" flight ended up being over 48 hours long. Looking forward to seeing your Alaskan cruise adventure!

I remember Southern Airways had a milk run I took in the 70s from FLL-MCO-TLH-PFN-VPS-MOB-GPT-MEM on a DC-9.

You’re too young to know about Northwest’s “Montana Milk Run”. 727’s originated in MSP, stopping in Fargo and Bismarck, ND before arriving in Billings. Then it was: Billings-Bozeman-Helena-Butte-Missoula-Spokane. These were high-seniority routes for pilots because they actually got to “fly” the planes.

I regularly flew Alaska Airlines between ONT and PDX starting in 1981. I was told they were known in their earlier days as hell-for-leather pilots, possibly because they started out as milk runs with bush pilots - folks who were unafraid of any situation and faced adverse conditions with enthusiasm bordering on mania. LOL. I never had anything but good experiences with them, even when they provided me with my first solid 3-bounce-landing (which was also the first time I'd heard a plane full of passengers applaud--I was young).

Speaking of shortest commercial flights, in 1978 TWA had a scheduled B707 flight from ONT to LAX as a feeder. I had family near Palm Springs and we'd use that flight rather than drive all the way into LAX. To this day I remember the pilot announcing the flight time of 10 minutes and altitude of 4000 feet. We'd climb fairly hard for about a minute then they'd abruptly throttle back and level off. Engine start took about as long as the air time, given the 4 engines, lol.

We didn't do the whole milk run but we did the a stopover at Juneau probably the week after Jeb did his. The weather was gorgeous that week and I would say, it was worth every penny we paid. My eyes were literally glued to the window the whole journey. I've flown probably close to a thousand flights by now and this was the most spectacular view from flight I've ever laid my eyes on.....

I’m glad you enjoyed the flight! It’s great to see this from new eyes; I used take this route often and it’s incredibly beautiful. It was difficult to be on the plane so long to only travel to Anchorage; I often think, “I could be on the east coast by now!” I never tire of the view though and have a new appreciation watching your journey. The airport ferry in Ketchikan had to make a wide turn to avoid some humpbacks yesterday and only in Alaska can you say you missed your plane because the ferry to the airport had to avoid whales!

I used to photograph weddings in the small island towns. Hopped from Wrangell to Sitka and so on. You spend more time on the ground than you do in the air flying to each stop. Those pilots are also top-notch. The places they have to land a jet are wild.

I'd say that one of the most iconic flights that Scotland has is the Westray to Papa Westray flight, two islands in the north of the Orkney archipelago. The distance is shorter than Edinburgh Airport's runway & you are in the air for about 90 seconds (shortest time was 53 seconds) Alternatively, Glasgow to Barra is a fun one, Barra is a very small island in the Outer Hebridies, but what makes it notable is that the runway there is not just on sand but is actually the tidal beach, so it spends part of each day submerged by the Atlantic Ocean! In fact when the windsocks are down you can even go on the "runaway" & hunt the beach for cockles! Definitely worth a look the next time you are in Britain.

Tbh, just recently had an unexpected Bucket List Flight. Went to Tromso, Norway, for vacation. Coming from Frankfurt, we flew in from the south, but were supposed to land facing south. So we flew basically through a fjord, circled the town (which is almost completely on an island) and landed. Absolutely breathtaking

A long time ago (1970s), I used to travel an Air Canada milk run on a Vanguard aircraft. The journey started about 10:30 pm in Toronto to Ottawa to Montreal to Moncton, NB to Halifax, NS to Sydney, NS to Stephenville, Nfld. to Gander, Nfld. and finally to St. John's, Nfld. That's 8 segments in 10 and a half hours.

There was a flight along the East Coast of Queensland Australia that started in Cairns and ended in Brisbane. A direct flight usually takes 2-3 hours. This flight went from Cairns-Townsville-Mackay-Rockhampton-Gladstone-Brisbane. I tool this flight from Mackay back in the late 90's in an EMB-120 on Flight West (no longer in existence). Qantas did the same route on BAE-146.

I was on that run to Juneau (and back to Seattle) every two weeks for a few months. It was long enough ago when we had the mail /express in the cargo canister up front. But that was a looong time ago -40-45 years ago. Brought back memories.

I was actually on a shorter commercial flight many times in the 1980. American airlines flew from San Jose to Oakland, 30 miles in 8 minutes in the air. The reason for the flight was that AA wanted to arrive at DFW at 6am, the standard morning arrival time, but SJC had a take-off curfew of 11:30pm, so we would take off at 11:24pm, fly to Oakland, where some passengers from Dallas deplanes and others got on, and we left Oakland at 1am. The flight ended up being a "segment run" (as opposed to a "mileage run") in the early days of the AAdvantage program. I never flew it that way but a friend did a few times.
