our themed reception in sydney, australia on the night of thursday 25th october, 2007 was a roaring success! EUROPE v. AMERICA! “THE KING IS DEAD... LONG LIVE THE KING!" the new "King of the Skies", the european AIRBUS A380 was ceremonially KNIGHTED and... the previous King, the american BOEING 747 was DETHRONED & BEHEADED! (all this juvenile behaviour was, of course, in jest as we are just as passionate about boeings as we are about airbuses! the last time we had the chance to have this much fun was 30 years ago when the boeing 747 first flew and some of us weren't even born then!) |
