Popular Post MalibusMostWanted Posted April 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2019 I came across this today from an aviation channel I follow on YouTube. This is the inside of N502MG, the exact MGM Grand 727 that GNR used on the Illusions Tour. Video was taken in the last few weeks, and as you will see, the plane has been abandoned for quite some time at an airport in Michigan. Video of the plane starts around the 8:45 mark: 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soon Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) Cool vids! I randomly heard this thing about Airports on the radio and figure that some in this thread may find it intriguing. This poet wrote a collection using only the 3 letter call signs of airports (i.e. YYZ), linked together to form words and sentences. What I found neat was that they also made visual representations of the airports used in any given poem - and, in some cases, drawing lines between the various airports created images that correspond with the meaning of the poem, or just travel and location itself. The airports used to form a poem made an arrow when linked together, for instance!

No idea when they started using it. I was lucky enough to see Izzy’s last show at Wembley Stadium in August 91 though. He was sober by then and I think he travelled alone to keep away from that scene. https://www.loudersound.com/features/izzy-stradlin-in-too-deep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just messing around referencing Izzy's past airliner escapade. 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydney Fan Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I wondered if they used it during the first illusion US tour or where they in private small jets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXL_N_DIZZY Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 That was actually really cool. So obsessed with everything to do with the UYI-era, and Tour. That plane is true rock n’ roll history. Kind of thing IMHO the RNRHOF should scoop up for pennies on the dollar (even just the cabin/“bar” area as a display, etc.). Not too many legendary RnR “relics” out there any more (at least from the late 60s-early 90s “golden era”)- but that is definitely one of ‘em... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
