Last Flight: American Airlines Boeing 777 SJC to Tokyo, Japan - Oct 27th, 2006

CREDIT-Tom Vance/Vapor Trails Video - www.SFOairlineshow.com San Jose,CA -USA: SJC/KSJC - American Airlines Boeing 777 ( N791AN) October 27th, 2006 this is the last flight from San Jose to Tokyo for the American Airlines Boeing 777-Flight 129 "Heavy'. I will sure miss this flight. This is a tribute to all American Airlines employess, past and present, who made this flight what it was. As a long time airliner photographer - this will hurt. I witnessed the 1st DC-10-30 flight to Tokyo, from San Jose, back in 1991, missed the MD-11 Inaugural flight, but saw many later flights- attended the 1st Boeing 777 Inaugural in April of 1999, and now, the last flight. From the Pilots in Command, on down to the ramp crews, front ticket counter, Flight Attendants, all of you, I thank you for your expertise, and exemplary SAFETY record. There was nothing better watching the Big American Airline 'Heavies" smokin' onto Runway 30L all of these years at SJC, along with my son, who is now 22yrs old.....let alone the pure beef flawless take off's in just about any weather condition. What a ride! Thank you...! Additionally- I'd like to thank the SJC Airport Police, for being very professional over the years, and especially the last 5yrs..for allowing us photographers to pursue our hobby of aircraft photography. Your support and knowledge of our hobby is GREATLY appreciated, by many.A very BIG thank you, also. TV

Yeah you are right. I like the looks of the bar on the A380, and the fact that you can have a private suite with a shower, and bed. Now that is luxury : )
