John Madden’s final flight ticket up for grabs

LAS VEGAS — The ticket from the last airline flight John Madden took before beginning his celebrated cross-country bus journeys is on the auction block.

The National Airlines ticket from Nov. 25, 1979, is part of a multi-item Madden lot that is up for bid on Heritage Auctions.

Madden took the flight from Tampa, Fla., to Houston, where he was supposed to continue on to San Francisco, according the auction description. He instead skipped that flight and traveled the remaining 2,000 miles to the Bay Area via ground transportation.
