Thales TopConnect DC-9 flight tests - the VIDEO!

Last year at the Inmarsat Aeronautical Conference in Vancouver, Thales presented a video about the successful flight tests of its TopConnect suite of connectivity solutions on a McDonnell Douglas DC-9. TopConnect is supported by Inmarsat's SwiftBroadband aeronautical service.

Champers.jpgAfter last year's event, I immediately started bugging Thales for a copy of the video. Well, I'm happy to report that I finally wore them down. Thales provided me with a copy when I visited their new Connectivity Suite facility in Crawley, UK last week. Thank you kindly!

Check this out. It shows just some of the work that went on at Thales in advance of last week's event. (Also be sure to read my buddy Bernie Baldwin's excellent article about Thales' Connectivity Suite).

We had a grand time last week. And did I mention there was bubbly? I had just a drop, I tell ya. Just a drop.
