Good? Only good?

Looks perfect! Yesterday, I've asked mu tutor if there was a possibility to organize something in name of the company (CCIL - aéroport de Lyon) to go to Paris.
If not, I'm dreaming of going myself to Paris. Maybe I'll meet you guys there then?

Boeing should also do a flying display with their B772LR, don't leave it all to Airbus (commercial airliner wise).

Btw, what dates are the Le Bourget exibitions?

And what would they show? Maybe they could just let it circle over the airport for 18 hours or something like that.

In Scramble magazine 311 page 31, the following was written about the B777-200LR:
"Boeing overweegt om een non stop vlucht van 24 uur rond de wereld uit te voeren rond de salon van Parijs deze zomer."

Little translation: Boeing considers to do a non stop flight of 24h around the world, around the period of the Salon of Paris this summer.

Maybe he will do one single overshoot during the airshow

Also important for the photographers is this:

These new features include:

- A 30,000 sq.m. grass strip next to the runway, allowing visitors to get much closer to the flying display.
- A grandstand with 2,500 seats, offering the comfort of booked seating and full visibility of the flying display.

I will go on 17 June with school, together with Andries. I hope the weather will be good
