Super,

I was looking for a Boss 302 v Holden from GM's Aztek Division and could not find a video. Then I realized the Boss Laguna Seca does not have a back seat, making the filming of a race with a Holden impossible. But as a car for your wife, the GTO probably has a lot of usable trunk space

I did find a video with a stock GT, that will have to suffice ... even though the Mustang driver bogged the launch and must have had a 3.15 rear axle. Despite those deficits, the inevitable occurred.

(just kidding, I'm like Ferris Bueller. I've got nothing that runs at the moment ... sold the toys this spring & don't even have an airplane any more I'm enormously fond of your very nice ride )

George,

Take comfort that at least our code share partners are doing well in Europe and Asia. As I enjoy another month of reserve ...
Joint venture partner Air France-KLM reported its September traffic jumped 9.3%, driven by strong demand on the Asia network. Capacity was up 7.5%, and September’s load factor increased 1.5 points to 85.2%. Taking into account last year’s air traffic control strikes, Air France said its capacity growth was more like 5.2%.

Traffic on the Asia network was up nearly 10% year over year, and the load factor was up 3 points to 88.8%. Passenger demand for Japan returned to a-year-ago level, but unit revenue remained down, the company said.

I dunno man, as a SkyWest guy, I really don't want the hat messing up my super-sexy spiky hair as I stroll the terminal in SLC. Chicks dig it.

TOS, no advertising.

Sweet!!! I love guerilla marketing! "Our charter brokerage will forgo expensive in ineffective traditional marketing campaigns in favor of a low cost Internet based marketing program that targets Internet websites, blogs... synergistic... value justified... personalization... social media... success metrics... in Cam we CAN..."

But this is the wrong place, if you want rich pilots who can charter a G550 you need to go to the Southwest side.

Thanks for the compliments! That's not what happens when I race new 5.0's in the Goat . The GTO in that video, while a nice color choice, needs a driver mod next . I wonder what if any mods those cars had?

With that said, the new mustangs are really nice cars! Honestly I'm a closet mustang fan as I've owned 2 of them, a 94 GT 5.0 and a 98 4.6 GT.

Btw I just picked up a another toy with future roadster plans ahead.
Here's a hint,

SOLBRA - Professional Pontiac Solstice V8 Conversions

Is that the turbo version of the Solstice?

Lol, that's just an excerpt, AirFranceKLM traffic and capacity is up everywhere except for a small dip in capacity in Africa mostly due to the Egypt uprisings.

here are the numbers:

Americas: RPM +12.2% ASM +10.8%
Asia: RPM +9.7% ASM +9.4%
Africa: RPM +2.9% ASM -1.3%
Caribbean: RPM +6.4% ASM +4.7%
Europe: RPM +9.5% ASM +7.4%

Cheers
George

P.S. The silver lining is we should see an increase in our Bundle 1 flying for next Summer because of the rolling average ESKMs.

No I didn't go with the turbo model since I wont be keeping a 4 cylinder longterm, I just found a great price on one and picked it up as the platform to build on. I bought it stock, you'll see in that pic though I've done a couple minor mods already to the outside to better suit me, limo tint to match the top, painted the calipers and (not shown) since replaced the stock antenna to an Opel antenna which is shorter and looks 100X better.
