Le Bourget, Paris Air Show, Boeing 727
This Boeing 727 was donated to the museum by FedEx, who had just retired it (together with the pilot). The plane had been on the way for a couple of days with several stops, not because it has such a lousy reach but because it is so old they needed to check it several times.
There was a big party in the booth next to ours, with some important guys from FedEx attending, and they'd even got John Travolta (who is a pilot himself and came in his own plane, an old Qantas 707) as some kind of speaker.
