"One of the best parades..."

From The Times Record, the story of a parade in Bath, Maine begins like this:

"Except for a tragic accident, the 35th annual Bath Heritage Days parade went off without a hitch."

The article then enthusiastically tells the tale of the wonderful parade, with no mention of an accident, tragic or otherwise. Well.

Boeing 7*7-Series Planes

Here's a cool story and picture:

"Amid all the 787 roll-out hoopla, perhaps the coolest event went unnoticed. On Saturday night, Boeing had all of the 787 airline representatives at an event at the Museum of Flight in Renton, WA . At 7:07 PM, an Omega Air Refueling Services 707 landed in front of the crowd (after taking off from Paine Field in Everrett). At 7:17, an AirTran 717 landed. This continued until 8:17 when an Air France 777-300ER landed. In the end, the 707,717, 727, 737, 747, 757, 767, and 777 were lined up nose-to-tail on the taxiway. It is the first time Boeing has had every 7-series airplane in the same place (not counting the 787, which couldn't make the flight, of course)."
