Waiting to hear back from Tommy777.

I'll send him your way. He (Tommy777) was here at the House of Miles this morning and we're just sending him back to Chicago via United.

Thanks, Randy! It's confirmed. I will be passing the Honorable Freddie Jr to Tommy777 at the post-Fleet Week Hola! dinner.

Thank you

And Freddie Jr. will fly AA in coach :eek: SJC-ORD at 0730 Monday October 12th.

He will then fly ORD-EWR in 2C on November 3rd, in C on LH405 and join the entire Star Mega DO party

Any takers in Europe after the DO is done?

anat0l will be at the DO, I am then flying in to FRA (and meeting him) and travelling around Europe with him for 3.5 weeks going through such places as ORY, TXL, AMS, PRG, VIE, VCE, FLR, FCO, BCN, EDI, LHR etc. So that could possibly be an option. We then may be able to palm him off to someone when we reach LON.

He took a bit of a detour from Tommy777's hands. Boxo gave him to me as I will most likely be flying the ba innagural lhr to las flight. He flew US in f of couse sfo to las today. Next week, he is driving to Phoenix and back. The following week, he is on US LAS-LAX followed by VS LAX-LHR before coming back on BA LHR-LAS. After another week relaxing in LAS, he will then continue LAS-SFO on WN followed by SFO-ORD in international C on a UA 777. He will get handed to Tommy either in chicago or Newark/JFK. He's got a lot of fun in store for him and I'm taking pictures for addition to the flicker page and the flight tracker.

According to my schedule, I am not sure, how and from where I will travel to and from FRA DO. And I unfortunately can't take him with me on a business trip ... So I have to decline this offer.

And he has been at FRA DO twice and I think there are other places where he has not yet been.

Is this not a viable option ?

A quick update:

Freddie had some fun with MRP Alert, including a ride on BA's inaugural LHR-LAS service in late October. He then travelled with MRP Alert for the full Star Mega DO (ORD-EWR on UA, JFK-FRA on LH, FRA-OSL-TLS-FRA on Condor), and greatly enjoyed the special FT charter flights, especially the low approach and fly-by at TLS.

On the final day of the DO, I had the pleasure of presenting a beautiful poster of Freddie Jr.'s flight map, courtesy of shoggoth, co-founder of www.flightmemory.com / www.flugstatistik.de. The basis for the poster can be found, as always, at http://my.flightmemory.com/freddiejr. I had initially intended to give it to Randy himself, but unfortunately he had to leave for London on very short notice early that morning. Tommy777 accepted the poster in his stead, who passed it to SkiAdcock to take to the Moderator Meeting in Munich. Hopefully, it is now on its way to Colorado Springs with its intended recipient.

As for Freddie - he is now in the care of sbm12, headed for New York (by way of LAX, of course :D).

The poster was successfully delivered to Randy Sat night at the Mod Dinner. It was a bit difficult to do a 'full presentation' given we were in the middle of a very large beer hall w/ boisterous people (and not all FTers!), but those at Randy's table got to hear how it all came about. Randy was sincerely touched, and kept repeating over & over, "I always wondered how much FreddieJr had traveled; this is wonderful", and loved seeing both the map and the summary of miles at the bottom. So the map is now headed back to COS w/ Randy.

Thanks for doing this Alex! Cheers.

Relaxing in the MUC SEN lounge now with Freddie Jr. and a couple other FTers. He really seems to like the beer here. Go figure. :p

Anyone who wants to pick him up in NYC later this week just let me know.

I'm glad it worked out and that Randy liked the poster. I'm sure he'll find a good home for it at the House of Miles or the Million Mile Ranch. And I'm glad that shoggoth came to me with the idea of presenting a poster at the Star Mega DO - I had planned to do it at the Freddies 2010 (Freddie Jr.'s "10th birthday"), had written off the idea after the Freddies were discontinued and had all but forgotten about it.

Excellent! Drop me a PM with the details when you get a chance, please. There is still much we can add to the map.

Is Jr. attending SIN DO? I acquired a SAS Pandion (super top tier status) luggage tag from SAS specifically for him. They did not have one at the hangar at *DO, but were kind enough to send me one by mail with a hand written note.

I was not aware of this thread -- until now!:rolleyes:

But I was honored that I had the pleasure of traveling w/Freddie, Jr. during the *MegaDO!^
