last MON 757 flights - missed the boat

as i said on the MON page:

it doesn't have to be the onus on the airline to organise a special flight -

anyone can approach and arrange a private charter - ie: that's what Ian Allan do and others also

if someone can be bothered to drum up the impetus (like the successful Biman and KLM MD11 recent last flights) then dont see why Monarch is excluded

too late for the MON 757 - and yes it was a historical aircraft for british aviation but the A330 of theirs is an icon too
last big jet and last long haul services for the airline which commenced using big jets with the 720B looong ago

its up to someone and just do it and start it rolling


if you are looking for rare aircraft for enthusiasts flights then Virgin and BA 747's & 767's will be history within a few years
Virgin LHR 747 much sooner.

Virgin A340-600 and 300 (be quick on the 300)

Thomson 767-300 (owners abroad FCA a/c first)
