Gentlemen,
may I call your attention to this -
one of the very last chances to fly on a 1-11, August 27 at Dallas Love Field...
http://www.classicjettours.com/bac111.html
If someone in the area might want to spend $ 880,- ....
please don't forget your handycam - youtube still lacks good onboard vids...
All the best,
Nick

$880.00 and a HandyCam??
I wish I had both.
I guess this'll be as close as I ever get to flying on her.

But , if you'd like me to make a video documentary of a flight on her please feel free to send your non-refundable donations to
https://www.sendyourmoneytobrian.com . (don't bother clicking on the link)
But seriously, I wonder how close they'd let me get to her to get some pics?
I'll be there with bells on my toes if they'll let me get some pics of this beautiful lady. Mr. Trott, do you have any "connections" which could get us near this bird?

You could ask if they'll accept Southwest miles Brian

That's true. I wish they'd take it in exchange of the dough they're asking for.
I'd love to fly around the Dallas/Ft Worth area in that lovely bird. *sigh*

You are not alone.
But being based in Vienna I'm not just around the corner... apart from that $880 thing...
I really wonder if they'll reach "an adequate load factor to operate the flight" at that fare...
Cheers,
Nick

Nice idea, but I find it hard to believe there will be much interest at that price
To your average Joe
Hi Joe...it's just another jet and with travel and other bits and pieces it's going to be a $1,000 day out.
I'd love to be proved wrong though

Haha. You've known me long enough to know I isn't average.
