Passing this along from kaikua`ana Bob. Too bad Hawai`i is not on the itinerary (yet). A former British Caledonian air steward has leased four jets and will launch the world's first gay airline in April flying out of Luton and Manchester, England. Freedom Airways 757s and 767s will fly to North Africa, Gran Canaria, Thailand, Indonesia, Burma, New Zealand, Australia, Florida and Los Angeles. The company's insignia will be the rainbow flag. Founder Martin Langham, 34, said the idea came to him when he was flying to Bali and a stewardess told him to take his head off his lover's shoulder.
