First flights
Posted: Thu Oct 11, 2007 10:59 amSQ advertised the auction to the A380 first flight as "once-a-lifetime" chance.
Sure, one plane type generally has just one first flight. But then they found someone who, as 17-year-old boy, was on the 747 first flight - Pan-Am JFK-LHR in January 1970, the one which was 21 hours late because engine troubles meant another plane had to be substituted. And invited him to A380 first flight.
What are the other most important first flights?
SQ-s own first 747(200) flight?
