I groan every time I see the successor to Concorde mentioned in an article.

I had a friend turn down a trip to Farnborough this year for the trade show days (with a guest) to give a demo and free tickets to the public days. Needless to say I offered to go in his place as long as he wrote a script for me to do his demo for him. He still said no.

He got a slap across the back of the head.

He also turned down an invite to Paris airshow last year.

I need a new friend.
