off tonight on AF 007 on a last minute trip to Paris... My wife flew out last night and said the flight was good but cramped, but lots of food.... I'm off tonight I'll see if I can catch anything good over in CDG while waiting to return home next Tues.
AF 007 Tonight 777-200
AF 010 9/19 747-400
I give a tri report when I return
just found this while reading through the AF web site
Boeing B747
A major step in the democratization of air transport
The introduction of the Boeing B747 in the eighties, the first wide-bodied aircraft able to fly long distances, gave Air France an opportunity to offer passengers flights at very attractive fares.
Today, Boeing B747s operate in Africa, Asia, America and on the Caribbean and Indian Ocean network.
the Eighties???? they seem to be 20 years or so off....
Could it be bad wording? Did Air France get 74's in the 80's?
they had 100's in the early 70's
What time do you leave? I"m flying to Jacksonville tonight on jetBlue, I leave at 7:45 PM. I'll wave to you as I taxi by you!
Tommy is all about waving from planes! nerd.

That's funny. I'm sitting second to last row on the right side of the plane, just look for the goofy guy with his face pressed up against the window.Quote:

The 747 in the '80s comment is what you get when you outsource the writing of your website, inflight magazine, etc to some outside PR firm or ad agency. Don't believe everything you read!

"....a match made on the tarmac at JFK...."
They saw each other at a distance, faces pressed up against the windows, their eyes locked for a brief moment as their chariots raced past each other. Twas a love we'll never know!

"...The Sequel..."
They saw each other at a distance, faces pressed up against the windows, their eyes locked for a brief moment as their chariots raced past each other. She gazed into him and thought, "What a nerd" and he pondered, wondering what lay in her mind....and flipped her the bird.
Have safe flights, guys!

Back from Paris, AF was Great, great flights great food,
the 777-300 from JFK-CDG I sat in 18A the first seat in econ. by the door, only had the window in the door but 10 ft. of legroom. behind me was a zoo, my wife flew the day before and said it was very cramped in a reg. seat. flt. was ready to leave ontime at 7:25 but we sat at the gate for an hour because there was no room to push back. then once we did get moving we were num. 18 for take-off so that was another hour we finally lifted off at 9:25 but after a smooth flight and 2 bottles of wine and 2 or 3 movies we landed at CD in very heavy fog only 20 min. late Parked in the middle of nowhere and had a 20 minute bus ride to the terminal. couldn't get any shots in the fog and when I tried to take a pick of the plane as I walked to the bus I was asked very quickly to put the camera away. On the way out of the airport on the bus to paris I saw a MaxJet 767 at CDG.
On flight home yesterday had a 747-400, we had seats upstairs, there are 60 econ seats on the upperdeck and there were 7 of us up there. It was great!!!!plenty of room and again 2 bottles of wine and great food. We were comming in early till we had to circle over riverhead for 15min. then after we laned on 22 we sat on a taxiway for an hour waiting for a gate. but while waiting saw Boeing BJ's from Columbia and Morraco for the UN.I got shots of Morraco.
to me it seems that Term. 1 doesn't have enough space around it and that causes all the backup at the gates and there are too many flights leaving at the same time from the limited amount of space.
wow nice ot hear about the upper deck on the 747. BUt 60 econ seats? They pack them tight.
Where are the pics? :)
I missed this thread earlier, so I didn't get to warn Tommy: Just make sure it's your face that's pressed up against the window!Quote:
