Yesterday at work I noticed two PANYNJ fire trucks facing eachother along taxiway November to Terminal 1. Wondering what was going on I decided to wait and see what the commotion was about. As it turns out, it was a water cannon salute for N250MY. Does anyone have an idea of why this was done? I remember them doing it for the Air France Concorde the last time it arrived at the terminal and they did it for the BA Concorde on the way to her final takeoff. I've heard they do it for retiring captains sometimes, but why would a captain go to Maxjet just to retire nine months later? I'm just curious if anyone has an idea.
