Lambert tweeted a 787 would be visiting STL on January 30th. Anyone have any details on timing?

Jump to postThanks all for the great information. I definitely agree with everything that's been stated.

KSDK (NBC affiliate) is reporting a malfunctioning landing gear on an American Express Jet caused an emergency landing at Lambert just a few moments ago. First reports indicate no major injuries but I wasn't able to find any published details just yet...anyone heard anything?

Are you sure this list is for 2003? The major newspaper in St. Louis just reported that STL lost the most flights/passengers in 2003...logic also suggests this is true...any explanation?
IMisspiedmont -
Not that I have any doubts with your claim but I am a bit confused with your explanation of reasoning. Are you saying that the chill of the fuel cools the ice that has formed on the wings well enough that it doesn't melt in the 30 minutes it takes for a plane to turnaround?
I bet Memphis will pay maybe $75-100 million for FedEx Forum.
Will the rest be privately funded? Not that I expect the Forum to reach anywhere near the cost of a terminal but $100 million sounds very low for a new stadium. Most domed stadiums begin around $400 million.
The richest aviation city is most definitely STL...because of Lambert's clean, high-tech terminal and AA's huge operation.
