Just a little something that happened which I though some folks here might be interested in.

Nice. 15 hr flight!

I guess you have to be an airplane geek to appreciate such a thing.

Thanks

Sad to see an old bird get put out to display like that.

Truth.

Got all we could out of that airframe though.  The flight to Norway was part 91, because they flew every last hour of part 121 time it had off, before prepping it for it's last trip.

I'm glad at least it got to go out in style, rather than just being stuck in a boneyard and forgotten.
