Afternoon Fellas,
A few days to get organised but just received this info relating to the new Jet Blue service to Heathrow. These detail may well change but at present the validation flights are as follows.
July 12th JFK-LHR departs 19:00
July 14th LHR-JFK departs 10:00
July 16th JFK-LHR departs 08:00
July 17th LHR-JFK departs 15:00
July 19th JFK-LHR departs 08:00
July 20th LHR-JFK departs 15:00
Apologies, no arrival times for LHR, plus keep in mind all times quoted are ‘local’.
Good luck chaps.
Bill

Great info Bill, let's hope that the inbounds from JFK sail across in clear view for as many of us as possible. Based on a 6.5-7 hour flight time, we should get a decent idea of when to look up!!

hi Graham,
i'm still working in pounds, shillings and pence, and as a throw back wrinkly...i've always put GTW for Gatwick, although LHR was/is Heathrow. Now you've got me remembering the piers you could go down at Gatwick, and listening to the commentary on the Queens building, oh and the Trident hour...
stay safe,regards,
dave...

Does anyone know if the other validation flights are taking place,my own opinion is that with little chance of them being able to start their service at the moment they won't bother,thoughts anyone?

 Like a lot of planes today- the heat haze beat me- so it goes begging for another day- but I did see a Malta Air 737-8 which took me to double figures. Almost Happy Days Bob
