It is I, that would be honoured to meet the great Sandy. 😎

This is good news. Perhaps Comet would like to sample this new NZ product once completed. 😉

I prefer the smokier types from the Islay region. Laphroiag, Bowmore, and my favourite, Lagavulin! Talisker is real good too.

I was referring to your DVD, Allen. 😎

Traditionally, Reagan National (DCA) operations had to fall within a 1,250 mile radius. A few years ago, they decided to allow ops beyond this radius classifying them as “beyond-perimeter,” which subsequently meant that the normal ops were “within-perimeter.” I recall TWA was granted some of the original “beyond-perimter” slots allowing them to operate DCA-LAX non-stop. They got swallowed up by AA shortly thereafter, so I don’t think those ever got started. Interesting that none of the bigboys applied for the LAX-DCA slot and that Alaska, who doesn’t have a really big LAX operation, did.

Actually, I read somewhere that Boeing was partial to the number 7, and was used traditionally such as the 247, 377, and the entire jetliner series, obviously.

Thanks LBA, I just figured that out, after my initial post so I went back and editted it.
