Aviation will never die. This is the title of this post I published here two and a half year ago, back in September 2007, explaining why and how passionate persons working in the aviation industry will always be the key for its future. I still strongly believe in what I wrote then, and would not change a single word.

A recent post published on Around the Pattern did bring these feelings back to me. This post’s title is “The End of an Era” and is about the last flight Northwest Cargo filght out of Narita. It conatins a very lively description of how ground staff there reacted to this event, and spontaneously organized a small gathering to wave the last Boeing 747-200 good bye.

I was really moved by this article and strongly advise that you read it as well: click here to read “The End of an Era“, from Around the Pattern.
