wow, now that is cool.
Glad to know the voluptuousness of South Beach didn't keep me from looking up! I was sitting in front of Mangoes when she flew over.
"Flowers"...riiiiiight.Quote:

Congrats on the baby's first trip Mario! Glad to hear he took to it well! That 762 takeoff is just awesome, definitely one of my favorite birds. I don't know how you got on the A300 though, I still can't bring myself to do it...
Thank you sir! Yes I was really impressed with it. I've flown them many times before but this takeoff seemed much more, aggresive, if you will.Quote:

Have another trip coming up for business. Flying AA on their, 763, MD80, 757 and 737. It'll be nice to have flwon all of AA's A/C types within the last year and will allow me to draw a more accurate comparison.
Hey Mario,
great trip report! I'm glad that the little guy enjoyed his first flight...apparently I was a mess on my first trip, haha. Not common these days to catch two 707s on a trip unless you happen to go to Nigeria or something - I'm jealous. See you soon man, hopefully! :D

Just a quick FYI on the Spanish AF 707. I read an article today that said the UK actually contracted the aircraft to fly a detachment of troops to Belize. So I would assume it was making a pit stop for fuel.
