The sad news of the day (for an aircraft enthusiast)
We have received a little mail at work this afternoon that the A300-600 MSN878 has left the Final Assembly Line at Airbus today. This particular aircraft is the last aircraft of the Wide Body family that was to be built by airbus. It's the direct descendant of the A300B2 that first flew on October 28th, 1972 and launched airbus into the aeronautics industry.
!972 was years before my birth, by I still feel quite sad to see those airplanes go. Of course, those that have just been delivered will still fly for many years for their operators, but still, I'm sad. And those who lived in toulouse around 1973-1974 (as my parents who I sent a mail to to annouce the news) may feel a bit of nostalgy tonight.
Apart from that, you ask?
I'm going to Paris this week end, see friends, see Flo, see Manon, and party like hell.
I'm going to Holland for Easter, see the parents, see the tulips and eat a pannekoek.
Work is ok, better than it had been for a long time. Except I have maybe too much to handle at the moment.
Post scriptum: Flo, j'ai toujours la photo de ta gamine dans son fauteuil/landau ou autre sur le bureau sur mon ordi. A chaque fois que je vois la vignette, je m'arrete dessus. Et je dois bien ouvrir la photo 3 fois par jour. J'ai hate de vous revoir.
Post scriptum 2: everyone else, Flo has the cutest baby ever, and I'm seeing them both in 5 days!!! I stand by my statement.

yes, ok, go to paris when I'm not there anymore *sniff*
Do I need a visa to visit? I'm sure I can hop onto a test plane and get a free ticket to Qatar. Maybe even require a test to verify the resistance to sandblasting :p
Me going to make sure we don't miss the next opportunity to meet.
