    Re: ORBIS Plane at LGA

    BTW did Orbis ever use an L-1011?
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    Apparently not - I thought they did, but it looks like they had a DC-8, and replaced it with the DC-10. I think what confused me is that there is (was?) an L-1011 Flying Hospital:

    You folks are confusing this with the "Orbital" L-1011 stationed in Mohave, which is not related to any eye hospital.

    Re: ORBIS Plane at LGA

    Actually Moose was right, people are always confusing that with the L-1011 flying Hospital.

    Here is a shot I got of the flying hospital in Tucson



    the one that will be at LGA is a DC-10 flying eye hospital. I did see an HDTV 1 hour show on it, it was amazing what they do! :borat:

    Re: ORBIS Plane at LGA

    Just got my RSVP, Sat at 1700 but coincidentally, when I RSVPed, I mentioned my colleague and it turns out he and I are going at the same time.

    So if anyone has any interest in talking to someone who is NOT a part of Orbis but did perform surgeries on their plane, he's a good guy to talk to.

    EMS, do we finally get to meet? Can you also arrange for Vangelis' Chariots of Fire to be playing when we meet ? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: ?

    I think you're going to get pulled to side for special screening. "Sir we need to wand you."

    Serigo did you read the link? If so you would have seen how to sign up. The deadline was April 30th. You may want to try, I don't know how strict they are with the deadline.
