Of course there will be FTers on the final UA flight from JFK. Join us!
Some C seats are still available (p.s. 752 lie-flat). Departure is 6:30pm. United Club at JFK should be open until boarding doors close.

My first UA flight was in November, 1965, from JFK to SFO, when the family relocated from New York to the Bay Area. Hard to believe that was 50 years ago (clearly I go back a long way with UA). I won't be able to make this one but hope everyone enjoys the last trip out to the west coast.

Flew p.s. earlier today but wish I could have been on last flight. Please post photos of water cannon salute and all employees lining up for final photo in front of plane to LA.

I'm on the airtrain now. I'll miss being able to go from mass transit to lounge/gate in fewer than 10 minutes.
EDIT: 6 minutes

Normally I prefer row 1 to row 5 but as luck would have it, they boarded through 2L. Just prior to closing the door, both the Pilot and GA gave farewell speeches at 2L, and I have some pretty good (amateur) video, as well as photos.
I'm no tech expert (maybe LordTentacle will lend advice), so I'm thinking maybe to set up a dedicated Facebook page, and I can upload my photos/video, and allow others to upload theirs. Any suggestions on how to best share this?
I won't be able to get to this until later in the afternoon...
