Jerome,
I am curious. Will the RACS rebuilt 15G be flying first class or travelling in the cargo hold?

Hi Terry,

IF we get to that stage, (should know tomorrow or tuesday) i will do whatever it takes.

In the old days (pre-2003) i could have baby-sitted it to NYC in 3h45 with the Concorde, now you wait 4 hours to be searched naked by a spanking-new microwave X-Ray scanner + 9-10 hours in the air ...progress!

Best Regards

jhalphen/Paris

I'm sure everyone wishes you luck. Bringing it in the passenger cabin will help protect against temperature change and hard knocks, but air travel still involves some pressure changes -- perhaps a good real-world test of your sealing methods

Phil,
Yes, those were my thoughts, too.
In the cargo hold there would be at least two temperature and pressure cycles before deplaning at JFK.
I always feel pretty crappy after that hop and I'm in the cabin. If the 15G's seal makes it intact, it will probably last for a while.

Went for $5600.

Not me, if I raised the bids, it was only for a microsecond.

Not me. I went to bed early last night. I must be getting old.

P.S.
I talked to Jerome last night. He may be grounded in France by the Icelandic ash cloud.
Shouldn't we be prepared for his 15GP22 presentation via the internet at the 2010 ETF convention?

Not I. My bid sat there as the high bid for about a week, until the last minute as usual. I was almost afraid I was going to win it, and I have no idea how I was going to get it safely to California. Fortunately, I was outbid at the end, seriously outbid. Silly me.
