OK, with the photo showing "AirtrafficController" , that table is displaying the Inflight 1:200 models.
I broke down and got the white Eastern "whisperjet" 727.
Plus a 1960 and 1962 Delta timetable showing off the jet CV-880.
The other photo is showing off the JAL cutaway display model 1:36 scale. 6 feet long.
The vendor sold it for $1,500.00 quickly!
(If that model was in National, Eastern or Delta I would have been in VERY BIG TROUBLE!)

I got 13 safety cards, most of them Varig.
I actually don't like to pay for safety cards, but almost all of the collectors are in Europe and with the extraordinarily high mailing prices, I end up paying $1-2 in postage per card, so buying at a show can make sense, unfortunately.
Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
I bought EuroAtlantic L-1011 and AirTransat A330 saftey cards. Also got a Qatar Airways DVD. I didn't get any models becasue they were all in 1/400 :( , and im a 1/500 guy 8)
Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
Phil was so right in his opening post. It is so tempting to buy anything there.
When in Australia last year, all I wanted to see was a glimpse of the Socceroos plane. And was very lucky to get her with only 3 hours in SYD to shoot.
I saw a 400 model of her at hte LGA show. I loved it and really wanted it and yet....while I have some 400s, I like sticking with 200 and 250s.
Still wondering if I shoulda gotten it though :?:

Im another 1:500 guy as well. I bought a Midwest 717, CSA A310, Airtran NC 717, Airbus house colrs A340-600 and an Air France 747-400ERF with the nose that goes up and down from Herpa Wings. I was hoping to get an AA MD-82, Delta MD-90 and Continental 757-200W 1:500 scale from Herpa but they didnt have them. :x
Re: LGA Airline Collectibles Show - 11/10/07
Any of you guys get a Continental saftey card for a 737-800/900?
If so, that was from me.
(some one did)
