How many LUG members can it hold? > Carl: I have flown many times in this type of airplane (Dassault Myst=E8re or Falcon as it is called on the international market because it sells better in English) in my official capacity. Last time we went from Strasbourg (France) to the isle of Lanzarote (part of the Canary Islands off the Moroccan coast). We had to make a fuel stop in between in Spain, which is not bad because it gives you a chance to stretch your legs. This aircraft is rather small, and I one got stuck in the toilet... Had to call on other people to "liberate" me from the outside... I don't think this aircraft would be able to fly non-stop from the US East coast to Europe, but you could always land on the Azores islands for refueling...:-) Pascal - -------------------------------------------------------- Check out: http://members.xoom.com/cyberplace/ - -------------------------------------------------------- Macintosh PowerBook G3 - it eats Pentium notebooks for lunch - -------------------------------------------------------- <<< PGP public key available on request >>>
