    I just screamed. haha

    They don't have any L10s yet, though, so it might be a little while. Any timeline?

    according to their press release...summer 2005....I believe they're supposed to be ex-transat L10's...Global Jet which is involved with Air Scotland already has some of their own...

    I thought I'd never see the day again.

    Apparently, I was wrong. AND BOY AM I GLAD.

    Now there's a reason to ditch work and head to the airport. This is huge.

    This is great news indeed.

    I always maintained we'd see the Tri Star back on regular scheduled service to JFK again before they're really GONE, but time was running out.

    2005 is a good year.. Tahiti, Thai, - Eurofly, LTU, and Qatar, TAM etc to follow.

    Read that Gulf is looking to expand as well...maybe something to look forward to in 2006.

    Tom, you're absolutely right...2005 has been a fantastic year for JFK. All the more reason for us to all have a fantastic summer full of spotting. Hope to see you out there sometime soon... :)

    josh, i'm with you on that one!! a three-holer is definately worth a sick call to work...
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
