Default This is worth checking out for pilots

The March of Dimes is currently holding an online auction for an
unbelievable opportunity - Especially for flying enthusiasts! This
auction will allow someone to fly first class from their home, have
dinner with top Continental and Boeing executives, stay at the
Renaissance in Seattle, tour the Boeing plant and fly on an exclusive
ferry flight on Continental's brand new, never been flown before 777.
You can go to www.marchofdimes.com/flight to see what I mean!

To bad it starts out at $10,000, wish it started out at $1,000 and let the
market decide. I would at least bid at $1,000, $10,000 no way!

Still a very cool trip if you got $10 grand laying around.

"Interesting" may be an understatement for a maiden flight. I don't think
I'd want to be on it for the first flight.

first flight? "interesting" is not the word I would use.

The only thing a first flight should be is dull.
