I would have liked to fly on the inaugural flight. I never had the chance to do so but I did make a connection at DTW on the same day as the inaugural flights to AMS and NRT. I had enough time to see the band playing and other stuff. I didn't even try to time my flights to see these two flights, just was lucky.
