Just a small thought, as all pilots who ever had a leicence[spelling]? to fly the bird had them revoked or they lapsed after 6months due to nil renewal and no "hands on ,and 8years since it last flew , to become a "Rocket" pilot meant you were high in the lists of the "senior" ladder and must have retired , will the French and British Aviation Authorities allow new pilots to be trained and given "permits to fly " even if there is still Flight Simulator still working , and what about the Flight Eng they are now extinct with the demise of the 100and 200 747s and I imagine the courses for all the permits would be long and for what, 1 a/c that will cost a fortune even to get sufficent fuel in it to keep the c of g in line
One final thought imagine the cost of insuring the thing not the plane loss but life and damage to propery should the worse happen.
