Depends on where FT Jr is in April, but I'll be at a trade show in Vegas & might be able to get him there (or routing through ORD or LAX) and/or hand him off there to some other FTers who will be at the same trade show. Cheers. |
I will try and work out logistics with MRP Alert; otherwise, it looks likely that he will travel with me to NYC this weekend and will be passed along to someone there.
|
Will he be available on March 26th? I'll bring him aboard FlyerTalk 2 with Captain Denny.
I can meet in ORD/DEN/SFO to pick him up. |

At this point, there are two possible transfers for NYC this weekend. I think FT Junior might be free later in March. I'll post the details once I get the transfer worked out or if the plans fall through.
Having been the keeper of both Freddie Jr. and FT Junior a few times, my preference is to keep them moving as much as possible and to avoid using FedEx/USPS for transport. :) |

I'll put my 2 cents in now. Freddy Jr or FT jr is due in Brooklyn on June 4th for the 11th annual BRT. Thread to follow next week. ;)

He's sitting on my counter right now having successfully been transferred this weekend. He seems a bit upset that he missed the JFK-IAD-DKR-JNB-MRU-JNB-DKR-JFK trip I did last week but when I explained it was in Y he got over it.
If anyone in NYC wants to take him for a ride let me know. I actually don't have much travel planned for the next couple weeks. |
After a stressful night being groped by various people at the FT Award ceremony FT jr decided to fly east on Friday and joined me in style on LH411 to MUC in F (he was supposed to be on an A380 (LH 401) but we got bumped and op-upped) :D

Oliver I'll try to catch up with him sometime soon. It's good to know he's in safe hands. (there's some of those good Aussie cookies for your Missus in this for you). So sorry to have missed it all. |

You know I have a special affection for FT Jr after being his companion at FT Awards 2010 & protecting him from the aformentioned groping last year. I had thought to hold him safe again this year but missed my flight ( don't want to talk about it).

FT Jr. made an appearance at the 2011 FT Awards on Thursday evening.
He can be seen here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater |
Our buddy was busy this week:

So can we get FT jnr to OzFest? There are a few folk coming over from the US, in particular from the East Coast.
I see in a post above Serfty mentions someone getting him from NYC for the BRT & then the 1st Prague DO. How about we get him from NYC to OzFest, then back for the BRT & then Prague? |

Oz fest is in three weeks (May 27-29); if someone can bring Jr. over I can then provide transportation to the Prague Do for June 10-13 (unless someone wants his presence at the BRT on June 4)¹.
¹ I'm sadly missing the BRT this year. |
Despite being in a middle seat in economy (at least it was a bulkhead) FT Junior survived FRA-SFO on the LH A380 and then SFO-JFK on a DL 752. He's now hanging out in NYC in my apartment and I'd be quite happy to pass him along to anyone in the NYC area to help get him over to OzFest.

Oh, and the DL SkyClub agents in SFO were quite enamored with him. :) |

FT Junior certainly isn't where he expected to be. he is currently on my desk at home here in Spanish Harlem, NYC. He had quite the fun time drinking beers with sbm, Dan and FH. Quite the good times and he got his first MTA Bus ride as I am assuming sbm took the subway to the DO. He Will make a special appearance tomorrow at the BRT where some lucky soul shall receive him.

FT Junior completed his tour of Brooklyn (pics will be sure to follow). After going over the Prague confirmed list in detail, El_Chiflero decided there was no good way he could be handed off to anyone headed there. But since I'm headed to the Dubai Do, he's now in my hands. So unless someone has a creative way to squeeze Prague in, his next travels will be:
Trip down to Austin tonight 6/5. Some downtime in Austin, but we'll try to get him some BBQ. Istanbul in TK F on 6/18 Frankfurt for a day 6/22 (incl FCT visit) Dubai in LH F on 6/23 Need ideas for a handoff in/after Dubai... |
I know there are others with more pics, but here are the ones I happened to have from BRT11:

FT Junior got just as lit as the rest of us... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-W...0/IMG_2499.JPG |
The following day it was off to Austin. For whoever is doing the flightmemory, this was:
06/05/11 CO550 F EWR-AUS Seat 3A (737-800) About to enjoy a movie and beverage (he's definitely developing a taste for rum): https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-E...0/IMG_2513.JPG EWR-AUS Seat 3A: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Y...0/IMG_2514.JPG Arrival in the Live Music Capital of the World: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-O...0/IMG_2523.JPG |
On 6/9 (BBQ Thursday according to Penalty Box tradition), Mackieman, Starwood Lurker and I took FT Junior to one of the best BBQ places in Austin...
Lunch at Franklin Barbecue. The brisket will blow your mind. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-e...0/IMG_2526.JPG The truck of a true BBQ aficionado (Mackieman): https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Z...0/IMG_2529.JPG |
Wow. He has been all over the place! I need FT junior back for fitting for a few days. We are changing our trophy vendor and if someone could get him back from Dubai by end of July, it would be great.
I've got about 20 flights domestic US in July, but I'm based in Chicago. Thank you. :) |
In my defense, mnmag slipped me a roofie during lunch... :D
|
Great pics, paranoiatx! Looks like FT Junior is having a great time in TX.

Made a few updates to FT Junior's FlightMemory:
There do still seem to be a few gaps:
