Yeah, they must have made a mistake. The 2 AF flights GIG-CDG leave at 420PM GIG time and 7PM GIG time. The second flight was the one that was scheduled to arrive at 11:15 AM CDG time.

Ahhh, that makes more sense. So contact was lost ~3-4 hours after take-off. Got it.

She doesn't know about the extra $500 option so I'm not too worried about that one yet. That would basically buy us a shorter layover (down to ~2 hours from 6 in Bergen). I'm going to see if the town of Bergen is feasible in 6 hours, for lunch if nothing else, and do it that way. I think I'm going to pass on the wacky routing, mostly because I don't really like counting places as visited unless I do something. And a 15 minute flagstop doesn't count in my book.

And there will be plenty of other $500 weekend trips later this year, so no need to play it that way.

Just read the whole "Interesting stuff regarding CAL" thread. Very :rolleyes:!

It was way more fun listening to CO 1E reading it to us on the ride back up to NYC on Sunday morning.

I wish we could have recorded him.

Anyone know if the space shuttle (piggyback) will be flying over Houston on its way back from California? A friend of mine saw it flying back over the PHX area a little bit ago.

They are known to fly over NASA on their way back to Florida. Last ferry flight, they essentially buzzed the complex.

Sorry I missed it! Damn me for living a mile from Shogun! :o

Going on 3 hours of a conference call of stuff I have mostly heard already.

It was fun reading it, but it was a bit difficult to do using a blackberry in a moving car after having had many a drink. I was physically exhausted by the end.

Welcome to :rolleyes:

I find your MD80 sticker on your BB offensive.

So do I. It was an outstading piece of oration.

Sure, but you've got a job. That's what comes with the paycheck. ;)
