It was nice to meet and see a lot of people there. It was a great show with a great variety of models and other items. I bought 5 models which are British Airways 747-400, Continental 737-800, Emirates 777-300, Fed Ex MD-11, and LOT 787 all in 1:400 scale. I will come back next year for sure.

I think there was a very good overall turnout for this year's show. From the sounds of it, the vendors were making much more money than in previous years.
It was great getting to hang out a bit with people at the show, and not have to worry about keeping an eye on a table.

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)
