If you were always on the road and seemed to live on airplanes, would you spend your vacation visiting airlines?
More than 200 vagabond business travelers, peripatetic frequent-flier-mile addicts and aviation enthusiasts did just that last week. Over four days, they traveled from the U.S. to Germany, Norway and France to meet with executives, pilots and mechanics at four airlines—plus representatives of aircraft manufacturer Airbus. The event, organized by members of FlyerTalk.com, a Web site that caters to frequent fliers, even included chartering a Boeing 757-300 to zip from airline hangar to airline hangar.
Mr. DeVille, I’m ready for my close-up
As part of this week’s events a number of reporters have joined the events. It turns out that I know one of them through my brother-in-law (that was a strange coincidence to discover, especially after we had talked for a couple hours) and they are all working the story on various angles. Just who are these crazy folks that love to travel so much? Are there really people who spend every week on the road and then go out of our way to travel more when work stops sending us on the road?
Yes, these people really exist, and they are us.
One of the crews working such a story arranged for a photographer and the associated support staff to be available to shoot a photograph related to their story. I participated in that event and we had a blast. I cannot share the name of the publication or the real details of the shoot as of yet, but I’ve been told to expect the article and photo to be published in the February issue of the publication and you can be sure that I’ll be sharing more of that once it is official.
In the meantime, here are a couple shots of our group relaxing before and after the shoot.
And, just for fun, a cool shot of one of the interior lobbies in Lufthansa’s headquarters near Frankfurt airport.
