Have a good flight tomorrow! Everything will be just fine...

Enjoy Greece but don't drink the wine.

Hooray, there and back again, and I lived!

Just 3 more return trips between now and August!

phew.

Why don't they schedule B17 flights to Athens? I'd have the time of my life (without the ack, the 109s and the FWs).

Does anyone have any tips about how to get over the fear of flying?

Do you mean besides getting falling down drunk? ;)

Glad to hear you survived btw.

I was fine...

did fall asleep on the way there the taxi though.

It was great! I was so zoned out through check in and the flight...fell asleep the minute I sat down and woke up when they were calling us in for landing.

Thank YOU everyone for keeping me up until the morning.

I knew this BBS had a purpose

There was an actual Airline that had one of their planes insured for more than it's Book Value.   They found out after it crashed.   The Accountants didn't know what to call the 'profit' on the companies Income Statement.   They finally settled on Involuntary Conversion of Fixed Assets  

True story....

Ha Ha Ha

I find it unbelievable that the hull inusrance value could be overstated.

I'd be interested to know the name of the Carrier, otto.

mhh Ravs, you do know you could take the train to get there right... 2 days going & 2 days back. It's a bit "Orient-Express-esque" but hey... :)

Believe me, I'd love to, but when you only have a weekend, the options are a bit limited.

I am looking forward to going back to Brussels, though, and this time, I'll warn you in advance!
