All I wanted to do is try to fly on a 747!!!
Hi Everyone,
All I wanted to try to do is attempt to find a flight aboard a 747 without going to far to do so. I really didn't realize it would be such a battle to go through to find one. Wow!! Ultimately a posting by a James Robinson ended my search and HOPEFULLY will end the battles that I began and to my fault, help a couple going. THANK YOU, James Robinson for your help and understanding what I was requesting. I really did think this newsgroup would have been a proper place to post my request but again, in my life of many wrongs, I was wrong again. |

THANK YOU, James Robinson for your help and understanding what I was requesting. I really did think this newsgroup would have been a proper place to post my request but again, in my life of many wrongs, I was wrong again. I have to ask. Why would anyone want to fly as SLF in a a 747? First class is nice, but coach just plain sucks. I've flown to Tokyo and London in one and it was the least tolerable jetliner I've ever flown in. OTOH, if you can find a lightly loaded 727 with a pilot that's more concerned with putting the earth behind him than mitigating noise, well, that's an airplane. For the full experience sit in the back between the three engines... |

Chill out there Ted, its only a battle if you want it to be. there probably are better groups to post such a question, but it was SORT OF aviation related so I dont think there was any big deal about posting the question here. But if you are going to ask a question that is sort of flying related dont get so upset if people only SORT of answer the exact question you asked ( or as will quite often happen on Usenet , not answer it all or totally change the subject). In this life you usually get what you pay for and anything else is a bonus. How much did these answers cost you? I for one was being a bit tongue in cheek about my G Dubbya comments. It might ( or might not) surpise you but there is a bit of stereotypical view of Americans around the world that they dont like to get out of their own country much, and the way you posed the question kind of played to that stereotype, even though for all I know you may be quite a travelled man. I hope you dont take offence to this either, I am an Australian myself and I know you guys probably have some stereotypical views of Aussies that may or may not be accurate.

First class front rows have some really unique views, but other than that, what the hells the difference? Unless you're at a window seat in back and counting engines... Oh well... |

Jim - The old 747's (when they were 2-4-3 in coach and 36 inch pitch was still standard in international coach) were much nicer to fly in, especially with the piano lounge in the rear.
