September 29, 200322 yr Many thanks for that Mark. I had been watching the BA site for details of the UK tour since beginning of this month when they said full details would be released.Looks like the 22nd is a day's holiday, or sick ;-), hope the weather is good.
September 30, 200322 yr I will be at T1 CYYZ P8 is the level for parking and P9 is the roof. I'll be in a leather jacket looking with a olive green baseball cap.see you there at 3:00 pm est
October 1, 200322 yr Darn, not going to be anywhere near me. x( Oh well I'll have to look up one of the museums I guess.
October 1, 200322 yr Thanks for the heads up, Mark. I might see if I can drag the kids to KBOS to see it on 8 October. As luck would have it, it is on their half day of school.I've walked on the tarmac within 20' of one once at EGLL while walking to an ATR. It's a very impressive piece of machinery. But, I've never seen one flying.Lee Hetherington (KBED)
October 1, 200322 yr Absolutely beautiful over the #'s for Rwy 23. Great crowd cheering it as well. Too bad I'm unable to be there for the departure. Thanks again for the info Mark.Brian ACA230
October 2, 200322 yr Bill:I think that Wendy is two-timing!! I was there too!!It is great to see history in the making, ain't it?Roberto Roberto Stopnicki Toronto, Canada
October 2, 200322 yr Bill, Brian and Robert:Glad you guys got to see her before she goes - hope you got some pictures.Lee,Good luck with the trip down to BOS.If I am off, I may go thru to EDI to see Concorde on the 24th October, although I would have prefferd if it visited GLA and I could then get a photo of me next to it airside. One of my work colleaugues has his photo taken right in front of the nose on the ramp.
October 2, 200322 yr Mark:The worst words that you can hear at an Air Show or in a motel room are:"The batteries are dead!!!!" It happened to me............at Wendy's :-( (not the motel, the fast food restaurant :-))RobertoBTW: the Toronto Star (www.thestar.com) has a magnificent picture and article on Pg 3.

It is both beautiful and awesome!-michael
October 2, 200322 yr I'd love to see it depart Boston, but I haven't seen a scheduled departure yet. I suspect it might have an unscheduled repositioning flight to KJFK.Lee Hetherington (KBED)
