Having said this, the experiences were unique, and I'd expect a North American version to be no different. However, wrt the airlines, I am not sure how different the events can be from either (a) what they've shown before at the DOs, or (b) what LH & UA were able to showcase at the last *MegaDO.
A special tour of Boeing's facilities similar to the Airbus tour I would be interested in, especially if it involved the 787 (rather than the crappy public tour that is offered currently).
Including perhaps vintage aircraft flights (B52 perhaps) would probably be worth my time too.
Can't think if anything else, as it stands I'm not too excited about the prospects for a second MegaDO. I might go to certain portions if no charter requirement is there.
Thank you for your feedback.
In regards to cost, vintage flights are expensive and will cost upwards of what the charter cost was, so if you're looking for a less expensive experience, it's not the way to go.
I've done this one and it was fantastic, but it cost around USD400:

Also, the logistics of having 200+ people would be a huge challenge as the capacity of these vintage aircraft is minimal
