good to see Caribbean doing long haul again
we used the BWIA Heathrow Antigua run in 2005
there was one flying past Long Beach LA in the summer when we were there advertising flights on its side

thanks
its of interest as my daughter is renting a flat at Armstrong Quay near the old garden festival site
went Ibiza with “lads” in 1982 on one these
if you can get a shot of Mersey west of Speke and before Albert dock area that would be nice
guess that would be likely on the Ex mcr route
i didn’t know about Janet planes and as the i viewed them coming and going from our hotel every day i questioned my helicopter pilot on my grand canyon trip about them
