I'll need OAG help for my (I think) Great Plains Aviation flights.

I'm fairly confident I'll personally be able to experience hypersonic or suborbital/orbital flights in my lifetime, despite Concorde being retired. Concorde was the first, but I hope she was the first of many (Virgin Galactic, please!). As an Aerogeek, I'm saddened every time I hear another equipment-type has been retired for good, though. I'm even considering traveling to the Azores, just to get a ride on an A310 and a BAe ATP.

I'm going to agree with you.

If you have any requests, you can PM me if you like. I plan to head to the Houston Public Library next week after work. I believe they have OAGs from 1971 onwards (perhaps earlier).

I was talking to someone who had secured a Virgin Intergalatic flight. I'll want to do that - some day. I'm just, um, what is the word, fortunate?, that I flew the L1011, what my dad always referred to as the flying boxcar. It was super fun flying into So CAL during Santa Anas!

I had a chance to flythe concorde for $900 for a promotional trip. My dad didnt do it and he is made at himself about it now. But he has made up for it with the purchase of FC CO seats for the living room to go next to the beverage cart.

For those in Blue Bell Country. You need to try Butter Crunch! It is Vanilla Ice Cream and Butterfinger. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I always wanted to fly the Concorde and every year BA offered an airline rate of 50% off confirmed. I thought I had plenty of time to fly it and then it was gone. I still kick myself for not doing it, especially when I use to watch it fly overhead when I lived in Maryland.

The last one I flew was when they started service from HNL-ANC-LGW some time in the 80's. The flight was fine but the FA's were so old that they took forever to complete their services.
