We have delivered four units to be used by the Dubai Police at the Dubai Air Show. They have 1 XT and and 3 i Series.

Quite pleased with them so far and I'm hoping this will close some deals we've been working on.

If any of you see them on the news can you let me know? I'd like to add them to our video collection.

Thanks,

Steven

Wow, you're a busy guy, Steven! Rest assured you'll see deals closed, and new
ones initiated with that kind of exposure.

Thanks Wayne!

BTW, got a GREAT view of the new Airbus A380 today as they flew in for a photo shoot.

I live right down the road from the Burj al Arab (less than a mile) and as the flew along the coastline towards the Burj the went right in front of my house....that is a HUGE plane. me thinks they need a Segway or two for the crew to use :-)

I saw one of those live as well... My GAWD... a p or 2 up and down the aisles would do the trick. Maybe an RMP for the food and drink trays as well.

They are HUGE, aren't they? we had some photos forwarded to us from Quantas of the delivery of their first, and it's just astounding how big that bird is. If you manage to get some photos of it (or any from the airshow) I'd love to see them

B2 was there; A380 was there (dang is it big), lot's of little planes were there. And best of all, the Dubai Police riding around on their Segways. Photo shoots galore, press galore, good coverage.

Photos to to be posted in a Photo Album, link provided separately. Only issue was that the Airbus folks refused to allow us to take a picture of the Segway next to the A380. Mon Dieu! Sacre Bleu! Il ne peut pas être! The French rude? Yep, it was a case of No! Non! La! (Arabic for no)....all without discussion or anything.

So, sorry folks, have some pics but not the pic I wanted!

I think Airbus didn't want the Segway to steal the thunder from their monster! Especially since their plane is noisy, guzzles gas like it's going out of style, and IMHO, UGLY!

But, yes, it is an awesome sight to see.
