Greetings Jeroen
You heard right about the flight deck visits - I queried that with Richard as well - don't think he was in a position to answer tho'
Pity - maybe next time....
She will be landing at Rand sometime in December - not sure of exact date yet, but I'm sure it will be announced as the event of the year...!
The flight was certainly a magic event - much better than "up-sit for 12 hours in a straight line-down"
Last time I had that much fun was in the sharp end of a Virgin A340 over the ocean somewhere (pre 9/11), at midnight.
Will see you for the next one hopefully...
