    I have a little update on the Spirit of Delta's visit to JFK. I made several calls this morning and after about 6 calls got the woman from the Delta Heritage Museum who is in charge of the tour. There has been a minor change to JFK on Thursday 2-23. The r/t short flight to nowhere will now depart at 0915 and arrive back at 1000, this will allow a ceremony, inside security at 0830, at Terminal 3, Gate 3. I went to Delta's website and looked, Gate 3 is on the east side, under the overhang, third gate from the street, if Gates 1 and 2 are empty shots from the street should be possible. I plan on being around on Thursday morning.

    Cheers

    N102DA is currently in delivery colors, they are buffing the body as I type this. For those of you who have never shot the "Spirit" in original delivery cs here is your chance.

    I was told that they are only painting Half the aircraft...then I read it on another forum. Any truth to this?

    Haven't heard that but can't say for sure if it's incorrect as I haven't seen the a/c myself. From what I was told, it's "now painted in delivery colors".

    Derf, they where considering doing the recent 75th Anniv scheme on one side and the delivery widget colors on the other but they decided to go with the delivery colors, according to several people I spoke with at the DL Heritage Museum !

    i'd love for 102DL to come into LGA as an a/c sub. that would ust make my friggin day!!
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Far as I know the tour is on schedule, should be at JFK tommorow afternoon !

    And Matt sorry to disappoint but as far as the aircraft sub to LGA Ship 102 is officially retired from service, after the tour is complete she will get significant interior mods before going in to the Museum !

    Cheers
