There is a 'enthusiast charter' flight onboard a BAC 1-11 being offered by Classic Jet Tours. The aircraft is N999BW belonging to Business Jet Access. Apparently, there are only 8 of the BACs left operating in the world, so without a doubt a very tough airplane to catch. They're flying on the 27th of August from Dallas Love.

That is so cool. Will check it out. Surprised that there are still eight of the classics in service.

Lots of info.

While, I would love to do this, the price is just too much for me.

I flew the type a few times when Pacific Express was operating it back in the early 80s. For those of you who can make the trip, have fun. And share some photos, please!

Thanks for posting, Billy. Nothing like the sound of those RR Speys!
