Planes

Several friends of mine flew for the first time in the past week or two, which got me to thinking.

Yep. When my family was being flown to England to live my stepdad's company used to fly everyone business class...there was some problem with our (regular) plane the morning that we were to leave, so British Airways offered to fly all of thier First- and Business-class passengers on the Concorde the following day. It was a happy accident, that's for sure. Imagine - New York to London in something like 3 hours! And they fed us shrimp cocktail and filet mignon.
