The Queen is Dead, Long Live the Queen!

This evening, a party to honour the new queen of the skies was held by some crazy aviation fanatics, who were on board the first flight or will be onboard the first flight tomorrow. So actually it should have been 100% of the people on the flight (I guess nobody ever onboard this flight is not crazy about planes and flying), but we were only a small group, as this was not an official Singapore Airlines event, but an event organized by some flyertalk members.

Under the patronage of Tim Spahr we gathered together at Zeta Bar at the Sydney Hilton, to praise the new Queen and behead the former Queen.

It just needed a few strokes with a hacksaw...

And off was the head. Poor 747, lost your nose.

Tim had also prepared some interesting videos on aviation history in general, a 747 "farewell" video and a short video on the all new Airbus A380.

It was a nice casual event with lots of interesting talks, and I am looking forward to tomorrow, to see at least some of those on tomorrow's flight.
