I'm just hoping that they have it cleaned up and ready for a special tour for those of us attending the Atlanta Mini DO the next weekend.....
Now that would be special!

If there are any contacts out there we could try out, please PM me. If nothing works out (doesn't even have to be the 350, though it's a wonderful thought), we've got plenty planned out already, but obviously a bunch of DL-oriented FTers in ATL would be interested in doing something fun and unique.

I was thinking that some of the DL executives might want to check out how they spent so much money. It's almost a historic occasion for DL to actually purchase a brand new airplane.
Now, if someone (mechanic or otherwise) could just be nice and tow it over to the DL museum for next Saturday, we'd really appreciate a sneak peak.

New estimated arrival is 1:55 AM.
When it was scheduled to arrive at 11:00 PM I was planning on going down to Hartsfield to try and steal a peak - but not at 1:55 AM...
If anyone goes - please give an update.
